410 A MANUAL OF BACTERIOLOGY 



Timotliy-grass bacillus ; other grasses also yield acid-fast bacilli 

 (Grass Bacillus II). They grow readily on culture media, and 

 are not so acid -fast as the tubercle bacillus. The Mist bacillus 

 was isolated from dung, and is considered by Pettersson to be 

 identical with the Timothy-grass bacillus. (See Moeller, Deutsch. 

 med. Woch., 1898, p. 376; Herr, Zeitschr. f. Hyg., xxxviii, 1901 ; 

 Pettersson, Berl klin. Woch., 1899, p. 562.)
