MANUAL OF DETERMINATIVE BACTERIOLOGY 



Bacillus loxosporus Burchard. (Arb. 

 bakt. Inst. Karlsruhe, 2, Heft 1, 1902, 

 49.) From the air. Synonym of Bacil- 

 lus simplex according to Gottheil, Cent. f. 

 Bakt., II Abt., 7, 1901,633. 



Bacillus luteus Garbowski. (Bacillus 

 luteus sporogenes Smith and Baker, 

 Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 4, 1898, 788; 

 Garbowski, Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 19, 

 1907, 641.) From two samples of beet 

 sugar. 



Bacillus lutzae Brown. (Amer. 

 Museum Novitates, No. 251, 1927, 8.) 

 Pathogenic for certain flies. Dying indi- 

 viduals of the green blow fly (Lucilia 

 sericata) yielded pure cultures. 



Bacillus maculatus Sttihrk. (Cent. f. 

 Bakt., II Abt., 93, 1935, 184.) Good 

 growth on Ca n-butyrate agar. Two 

 cultures isolated from soils from Cuba 

 and Germany. 



Bacillus maidis Paltauf and Heider. 

 (Paltauf and Heider, Wiener med. Jahrb., 

 3, 1888, 383; Paltauf, Med. Jahrb., No. 8, 

 1889.) From an infusion of maize; also 

 from feces in cases of pellagra. This 

 species was originally described by 

 Cuboni, probably in the Rendic. R. 

 Accad. dei Lincei, /, 1886. It was later 

 shown to be a spore-former of the Bacil- 

 lus viesentericus group. It was quite 

 different from the organism isolated by 

 Tataroff {Pseudoiywnas maidis Migula) 

 and identified by him as Bacillus mai- 

 dis. 



Bacillus malakofaciens von Wahl. 

 (Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 16, 1906, 499.) 

 Reported to be similar in morphology and 

 physiology to Bacillus asterosporus. 

 From preserved asparagus and from green 

 beans. 



Bacillus maritimus Russell. (Russell, 

 Bot. Gazette, 18, 1893, 445; Bacterium 

 maritimum Chester, Man. Determ. Bart., 

 1901, 189.) From sea-mud. 



Bacillus mazun Weigmann, Gruber 

 and Huss. (Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 19, 

 1907, 72.) From the Armenian milk 

 product, mazun. 



Bacillus mediosponts Migula. (Bacil- 



lus No. VIII, Fliigge, Ztschr. f. Hyg., 17, 

 1894, 296; Bacillus laciis No. VIII, 

 Kruse, in Fliigge, Die Mikroorganismen, 

 3 Aufl., 2, 1896, 209; Migula, Syst. d. 

 Bakt., 2, 1900, 580; Bacillus viagnus 

 Chester, Man. Determ. Bact., 1901, 276.) 

 From milk. 



Bacillus medio-tumescens Saito. 

 (Jour. Coll. Sci. Imp. Univ., Tokyo, 23, 

 Art. 15, 1908, 45.) Isolated twice from 

 garden air. 



Bacillus megatherium Ravenel. 

 (Ravenel, Mem. Nat. Acad. Sci., 8, 1896, 

 11; not Bacillus megatherium De Bary, 

 Vergleich. Morph. u. Biol. d. Pilze, 1884, 

 499; Bacillus megatherium var. ravenelii 

 Chester, Man. Determ. Bact., 1901, 271.) 

 From soil. 



Bacillus melanosporus Schroeter. 

 (Eine Bacillus Art, Eidam, Beitr. z. 

 Biol. d. Pflanz., 1,3, 1875,216; Schroeter, 

 in Cohn, Kryptog. Flora v. Schlesien, 3, 

 1, 1886, 159.) From cooked potato. 



Bacillus melonis Patrick and Werkman. 

 (Iowa State Coll. Jour. Sci., 7, 1933, 411 ; 

 not Bacillus vielonis Giddings, Vermont 

 Agr. E.xp. Station Bull. 148, 1910, 413.) 

 Ferments xylan. One culture isolated 

 from decayed watermelon. 



Bacillus iuesentericus fuscus consistens 

 Dyar. (Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., 8, 1895, 

 373.) Found as a contamination in a 

 milk culture. 



Bacillus meseniericus fuscus granidatus 

 Dyar. (Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., 8, 1895, 

 373.) Found abundantly in a jar of 

 sterilized milk. 



Bacillus meseniericus roseus Zimmer- 

 mann. (Bakt. unserer Trink- u. Nutz- 

 wasser, Chemnitz, 2, 1894, 26.) From 

 water. Zimmermann received this cul- 

 ture from Krai under the above name. 

 Krai (Sanmilung v. Mikroorganismen, 

 Prague, 1900, 7) lists it as a synonym of 

 Bacillus meseniericus ruber Globig. 



Bacillus mesentericus vulgatus rnucosus 

 Ivanovics. (Cent. f. Bakt., I Abt., 

 Orig., 142, 1938, 52.) Author believed it
