The organism was isolated at a latitude of 30.144673 and a longitude of -97.841463 on September 6, 2017 at 18:49:00 CST. The conditions under which the NS Mystery Organism was isolated includes it being 83 degrees fahrenheit and 33% humidity. There were 0 inches of rainfall with a solar radiation of 22.49 ms/m^2.

Description and Significance

Describe the appearance (colonial and cellular), possible antimicrobial activity etc. of the organism, and why the organism might be significant.

The colony morphology of NS Mystery Organism has a smooth surface with slightly raised elevation and an entire margin. The organism exhibits creamy yellow color.

Cellular arrangement through microscopic observation is Diplobacilli. The antimicrobial activity test has shown a zone of inhibitions with all the antibiotics used. The Organism was also sensitized by some disinfectants used including Tea tree, PepperMint, Lysol 10% and Bleach 100%.

Genome Structure

Unknown due to complications from sequence reactions.

Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle

Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.


Physiology and Pathogenesis

Biochemical characteristics, enzymes made, other characteristics that may be used to identify the organism; contributions to environment (if any).
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
