BACTERIA 



water algae. This and Leptothrix muralis are genetically 

 connected with Drilosiphon julianus, Kutzing, the 

 ordinary hormogones of which produce filaments 

 known as Nostoc parietinum, Rabenhorst ; the cells of 

 these Nostoc filaments eventually separate and 

 produce slender filaments constituting Leptothrix 

 parasitica and muralis, Kutzing (Bennet and Murray).
