Hello I am needing some help in identifying the organisms/bacteria on my plates.
Backstory; this is for a project at uni to identify and research bacteria found in food. I used dog food, let it spoil and grew many plates. From a HB plate I subcultured two colonies, same as for CLED, on plain nutrient agar. I grew two generations and have gram stained from these. Most have died now but still trying to identify.
The bacteria at first I thought bacillus sp., but the following week they had transformed to something I have not observed before. I still have a suspicion it is, but I am not getting any hits from MALDI. There is also a strange chains of something, I am not sure if it is bacteria, but I am so curious and no one is able to identify.
Any input is much appreciated
MALDI hits: Pseudomonas orientalis CIP 105540T HAM; Klebsiella oxvtoca ATCC 700324 THL; Aeromonas molluscorum 848T DSM; Sphingomonas paucimobilis B341 UFL
