Growth of the bacterial strain CC4533 (Sphingobium yanoikuyae PR86 strain variant partial 16S rRNA sequence; GenBank Accession # MN633285.1) and Staphylococcus aureus on Tryptic Soy agar medium containing 5% sheep blood.

<div>Six figures in this file show the growth of the bacterial strain CC4533 (Sphingobium yanoikuyae PR86 strain variant) and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> on Tryptic Soy agar medium plates containing 5% sheep blood (Carolina Biological, Burlington, NC) over a period of 3 days at 30C. Plates were imaged after every 24 hours. <i>Sphingobium yanoikuyae</i> PR86 strain variant did not show any alpha hemolysis after 24 hours. Dark brown coloration on the blood agar medium around the growth of <i>Sphingobium yanoikuyae</i> PR86 strain variant was observed after 48 hours of growth. This brown coloration became more pronounced after 72 hours of growth. <i>S. aureus </i>is beta hemolytic and showed clear zones around its growth on blood agar after 24 hours of growth.</div><div><br></div>
