Abstract
A CULTURE of Enchytrœus fragmentosus Bell, 1959 1, was kindly sent us by Prof. A. W. Bell of Los Angeles City College in May 1959. We have been able to grow it without difficulty since that date, on rolled oats kept on moistened filter paper, and can now report success in putting it into monoxenic culture (that is, growing in the presence of a single species of associated organism—in this instance Escherichia coli).
