Bacillus - This genus can be seen in the Daisy, head slide. The inclusions visble in these critters are endospores. Essentially, these are a survival mechanism. Very few bacteria make them, with the primary producers being of the genuses Bacillus and Clostridium . It is genetic material surounded by several layers of coating.
Endospores are extremely resistant to destruction and require special sterilization methods.
There are some other Gram-positive rods that I was unable to identify. They average about .4 - .5 micrometers in diameter, are found in staphylococcus formation, and Dixie tested positive for S. aureus , though. It seems likely to me, then, that these are in fact S. aureus , but the stain was bad. There are Gram-negative rods on the Daisy, tongue slide and the Charity, head slide. I was also unable to identify these.
