 garden soil. 



Bacillus nobilis Adametz. (See Freud- 

 enreich, Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 7, 1901, 

 857; ibid., 8, 1902, 674.) This organism 

 was sold under the name Tyrogen; it was 

 said to play a part in the ripening of 

 hard cheese. This was doubted by 

 Freudenreich who identified it as one of 

 the Tyrothrix group. Original descrip- 

 tion apparently in Osterreichen Mokerei- 

 Zeitung, Nov. 15, 1900; Dec. 1 and 15, 

 1900; Milchzeitung, No. 4S, 1900.

 Manual, 1st ed., 1923, 304.) From steril- 

 ized milk. 



Bacillus oblongus Eckstein. (Ztschr. 

 f. Forst- u. Jagdwesen, 26, 1894, 16.)

 media containing m/100 phenol. One 

 culture isolated from soil. 



Bacillus oleae Schiff-Giorgini. (Cent. 

 f.Bakt., II Abt., 15, 1905,203.) Thought 

 to be the cause of tubercles on the olive 

 tree from which it was isolated.

 105.) Causes a rot of sorghum. 



Bacillus ontarioni (Chorine) Stein- 

 haus. {Bacterium ontarioni Chorine, 

 Internat. Corn Borer Invest., Sci. Rpts., 

 2, 1929, 44; also Ann. Inst. Past., 43, 1929, 

 1658; B. ontarioni Paillot, B. presumably 

 indicates Bacterium, see inde.K, p. 522, 

 L'infection chez les insectes, 1933, 134; 

 Steinhaus, Bacteria Associated Extra- 

 cellularly with Insects, Minneapolis, 

 1942, 72.) From diseased larvae of the 

 corn borer {Pyraustra nubilalis Hb.). 



Bacillus oogenes Migula. (Bacillus 

 oogenes hydrosulfureus a, Zorkendorfer, 

 Arch, f . Hyg., 16, 1893, 385 ; Migula, Syst. 

 d. Bakt., 2, 1900, 573.) From hens' eggs. 



Bacillus opacus Weiss. (Arb. bakt.

Bacillus orae Werner. (Cent, f . Bakt.,

 acetic, and butyric acids. One culture 

 isolated from European soil. 



Bacillus oxylaclicus Dyar. (Dyar, 

 Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., 8, 1895, 369; Bac- 

 terium oxylacticus Chester, Ann. Rept. 

 Del. Col. Agr. Exp. Sta., 9, 1897, 107.) 

 From air and a culture from Krai's 

 laboratory labeled Bacillus oxylacticus. 

 The latter is given in the Krai 1900 

 catalogue as Bacillus oxalaticus Zopf and 

 undoubtedly was the organism received 

 by Migula from Zopf and studied by 

 him (Migula, Arb. tech. Hochschule 

 Karlsruhe, 1, Heft 1, 1894, 139 and 

 Migula, Syst. d. Bakt., 2, 1900, 538). 

 This is now regarded as having been 

 Bacillus megatherium De Bary.

 carbohydrate of pneumococcus type III. 

 From swamp and other uncultivated soils.

 decomposes agar slightly. Found only 

 once.
