Omelianski finds two morphologically similar bacteria 

 capable of fermenting pure cellulose (Swedish filter pa- 

 per) in mineral solutions with chalk. Both grow ansero- 

 bically, and bear spores in a swollen terminal part. One 

 called the hydrogen ferment breaks up cellulose with the 

 formation of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and 

 butyric acid. The other, called the marsh-gas ferment, 

 breaks up cellulose with the formation of marsh.gas, 

 carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and butyric acid. The 

 cultures were made by the selective method, by which 

 means most of the accompanying forms were crowded 

 out. The hydrogen ferment was isolated from the 

 methane ferment by heating the material used for 

 the first transfer (from the methane-yielding ferment) 

 for 15 minutes at 70 , the subsequently inoculated 

 flasks then gave only the hydrogen fermentation. The 

 organism of the latter was isolated pure on potato, 

 but only after many trials and with feeble growth and 

 weak ferment powers. The methane bacterium was not 

 obtained pure in colonies. Neither organism colored 

 blue with iodine. The experiments were begun In 1894 

 and carried through a long series of years, involving an 

 enormous amount of painstaking labor.
