28o BACTERIOLOGY 



JUiik. Slightly acid, coagulated slowly or not at all. Nitrates reduced to 



nitrites. 

 Habitat. Water. 



204. B. limosus Russell 



Zeitsch. f. Hygiene, XI, 1891, 1^6. 

 Morphology . Bacilli large, rather slender; plasma granular, 1.2 : 3-4 ^t,. 

 Gelatin colonies. Slightly transparent, with slender filaments extending into 

 the gelatin ; later, larger liquefied depressions, with thorn-like projections. 

 Gelatin stab (gelatin made with sea water). Liquefaction infundibuliform — 



saccate. 

 Agar slant. Growth moist, glistening, white. 

 Bouillon. Turbid, with a pellicle. 

 Potato. Growth thin, grayish white. 

 JIabitat. Sea water. 



205. B. sputi 



B. No. VI Pansini : Virchow's Archiv, CXII, 1890. 



Morphology. Bacilli slender. 

 Colonies. Proteus-like. 

 Agar slant. Growth porcelain-white. 

 Potato. An invisible growth. 

 Bouillon. A membrane ; no odor. 

 JIabitat. Sputum. 



206. B. vacuolosis Sternberg 



Manual, 1892, 717. 

 Morphology. Bacilli i.o: 1.5-5 — filaments; ends rounded. 

 ■Gelatin stab. Liquefaction crateriform ; liquefied gelatin viscid ; a pellicle on 



the surface. 

 Agar slant. Growth creamy white. 

 Potato. Growth thin, creamy white. 

 Pathogenesis. Non-pathogenic to rabbits. 

 JIabitat. Isolated from the stomach and intestines of yellow fever cadavers. 



207. B. pseudo-anthracis Kruse 



Milzbranddhnlicher Bacillus aus Sitdamerikanischem Fleischfuttermehl Burri : Hyg. 



Rundschau, 1S94, No. 8, ref. Centralblatt f. Bakteriol., XVI, 374. 

 B . fseudo-anthracis Kruse: Fliigge, Die Mikroorganismen, 1B96, 233. 



Morphology. Bacilli like anthrax, i : 3-6 — filaments ; slowly motile. 



Gelatin colonies. Like anthrax. 



■Gelatin stab. Liquefaction more rapid than in anthrax, without outgrowths.
