TABLE XV 

 Effect of Balaniiophorus elongatus upon the number of bacteria in soil 



Results with Dimorpha radiata 



Dimorpha radiata is an active inhabitant of soil and should 

 therefore have some function therein. From the data obtained 

 that function does not appear to be the destruction of bacteria. 

 Neither in soil extract nor in soil did there appear to be any 

 limiting action upon the bacteria.
