320 GENERAL SYSTEMATIC BACTERIOLOGY 



Galactococcus. A generic name proposed by Guillebeau (1890, 

 p. 32) for three species. They are described by Enlows (1920, p. 44) 

 as follows: 



G. versicolar n. sp. Cocci of about In diameter. Nonmotile. Gram positive. 

 Long chains in milk, which is rapidly acidified. Aerobe, Belongs to the "haufigeren 

 Mastitispilzen." G. fulvus n. sp. Cocci of not more than l/z diameter. Nonmotile. 

 Gram positive. Ochre-yellow on potato. G. albusn.sp. Cocci about 1/Lt diameter. 

 Nonmotile. Gram-positive. White colonies on milk gelatin, which is not at all 

 or only slightly liquefied. Dirty white growth on potato. All of these species 

 found in milk from an inflamed udder. 



Apparently the organisms described belong to the genus Staphy- 

 lococcus, of which Galactococcus may be regarded as a synonym. The 

 type species probably should be designated as Galactococcus versicolor, 

 the first species described. 



Gallionella. A spelling of Gaillonella introduced by Ehrenberg 

 (1838, p. 166) and commonly used by subsequent writers. For dis- 

 cussion, see Gaillonella. 



Glaeogenes. A tribe of Schizophytes named by Cohn (1875). 

 The tribe included many forms now classed among the bacteria as 

 well as forms now included with the blue green algae. The tribe is 

 characterized by having its cells free or united into glairy families by 

 an intercellular substance. 



Gleobacter. A casual name used by Fischer (1895, p. 135) accord- 

 ing to Enlows (1920, p. 44) to include capsulated rod-shaped bacteria. 

 Klebsiella Trevisan is stated to be a synonym. 



Gliabacteria. A name proposed by Billroth (1874, p. 5) to designate 

 a growth form of his Coccobacteria septica in which the organisms ap- 

 pear as rods embedded in a mass of gelatin. It is not a generic name. 



Gliacoccos. A name proposed by Billroth (1874, p. 5) to designate 

 a growth form of his Coccobacteria septica in which the cells appeared 

 as cocci united by gelatin into irregular colonies. He proposed this 

 name to replace an earher designation Zoogloea Cohn. With the 

 spelling Gliacoccus it was rejected by E. F. Smith (1905). 



Gliacoccus. See discussion of GHacoccos. Maggi (1886, p. 82) 

 gives Gliacoccus aceti as a variety of his Micrococcus aceti. 



Glia-Kokkus. A variant spelling of Gliacoccus used by Klebs 

 (1887, p. 310). 



Glischrobacterium. An aberrant spelling of Gliscrobacterium (g.v.). 



Gliscrobacterium. A casual designation introduced by Malerba 

 and Sanna-Salaris (1888, p. 196) for an organism found by them to
