UTILIZATION OF PROTEID AND NON-PROTEID NITROGEN 27 



TABLE VI 



Autolysis experiments with different strains of Bacillus coli 



*Contamination with Subtilis-like organism. 



t Developed a condition which rendered the test fluid cloudy, and hence made 

 quantitative study impossible. 



TABLE VII 

 Combined autolysis experiments with gelatin-liquefying and non-liquefying bacteria 



* At the end of ten days of incubation of the autolysis bottle (B. typhi) 2 cc. 

 of completely autolyzed B. subtilis material was added. After eight days the 

 contents of the bottle failed to give a biuret reaction.
