101Enterobacteriaceae — A family of aerobic, facultatively anaerobic, nonsporeforming bacteria (order Eubacteriales) containing Gram negative rods. Some species are nonmotile, and nonmotile variants of motile species occur; the motile cells are …
102Gymnoascaceae — A family of fungi that includes the ascomycetous state of many of the dermatophytes and several of the systemic pathogens for humans (Histoplasma capsulatum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, etc.). Until the sexual forms were recognized, these pathogens …
103Lactobacillaceae — A family of anaerobic to facultatively anaerobic, ordinarily nonmotile bacteria (order Eubacteriales) containing straight or curved, Gram positive rods which usually occur singly or in chains; motile cells are peritrichous. These organisms have… …
104Micrococcaceae — A family of bacteria (order Eubacteriales) containing Gram positive spherical cells which occur singly or in pairs, tetrads, packets, irregular masses, or even chains. Rarely are these organisms motile. Free living, saprophytic, parasitic, and… …

106Mucoraceae — A family of fungi (class Zygomycetes) comprising terrestrial, aquatic, and sometimes parasitic organisms; includes the genera Mucor, Absidia, Rhizopus, Rhizomucor, Apophysomyces, and …
107Mycobacteriaceae — A family of aerobic bacteria (order Actinomycetales) containing Gram positive, spherical to rod shaped cells. Branching does not occur under ordinary cultural conditions. They are usually acid fast. They occur in soil and dairy products and as… …

109Peptococcaceae — A family of nonmotile, nonsporeforming, anaerobic bacteria (order Eubacteriales) containing Gram positive (staining may be equivocal) cocci, 0.5–1.6 μm in diameter, which occur singly, in pairs, chains, tetrads, and irregular masses but not in… …
110Saccharomycetaceae — The family of yeasts; that group of fungi comprising the ascomycetes which possess a predominantly unicellular thallus, reproduce asexually by budding, transverse division, or both, and produce ascospores in an ascus, originating from a zygote or …
