Caption:
This 1977 image depicts a Petri dish filled with trypticase soy agar medium containing 5% defibrinated sheep's blood. After having been inoculated with alpha-hemolytic, Streptococcus anginosus bacteria, a member of the Gram-positive viridans group of streptococci (VGS), the blood agar plate (BAP) was incubated in a carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere at 35oC for 24-hours. The culture grew numbers of surface bacterial colonies. The characteristic color changes, including a light colored halo surrounding each colony, indicated that these bacteria were alpha-hemolytic in nature.
