DEFINITION

Classification: 424/93.3

Intentional mixture of two or more micro- organisms, cells, or viruses of different genera:

(under subclass 93.1) Subject matter involving a mixture consisting of two or more different microbial, cellular, or viral genera.

(1) Note. A mixture of E. coli and Pseudomonas or a mixture of Aspergillus and Bacillus would be considered proper for this subclass while a mixture of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus brevis would be classified under Bacillus rather than in this subclass since they are both in the genus, Bacillus.

(2) Note. Rumen, intestinal, vaginal, etc., microflora mixtures are mixtures appropriate for this subclass unless mixture constituents are disclosed and are found to be contrary to the subclass definition.
