Mima, Herellea, and other gram-negative, non-fermenting bacteria were isolated from samples of an experimental space-flight diet. Identification of these organisms was facilitated by use of Seller's differential agar. Although the source of these organisms was not determined, it is possible that the utensils used in preparing the diet were contaminated by the food handler. Mima and Herellea could not be recovered from the feces of subjects subsisting on this diet.
