From BaxTñprov (see BACTERIUM), and povds, a unit. A genus of microscopic organisms onetael to the Bacterioidomonadee, intermediate in character between the Schizomycetes and the Protozoa. It differs from the rod-forms of the former in its greater size, its constant motion, the presence of a nucleus, and the existence of a number of spores.. Kiinstler, “ Comptes rend. de l’acad, des sci.,” 1885, Pe 1 (B); “ Bot. Ztg.,"' 1885, p. 364 (B).|—B. sporifera [J. Künstler]. A species attaining a length of 24 u, provided with a long flagellum. and with a large central nucleus; often also with two additional smaller nuclei, one at each extremity. The peripheral portion of the organism is of different constitution from the central ortion, constituting a sort of envelope for the latter. Reproduc- Fon takes place by means of endogenous spores, which germinate outside of the parent organism. [J. Kiinstler, “ Jour. de microgr..”” 1884, viii, p. 376, and “ Jour. of the Roy. Mic. Soc.,” 1884, p. 934 (B). —B, un A species found in the intestine of ulans {J. Künstler]. d the black rat. It forms spirilla 34 & long, slightly attenuated at either end, with nuclei like those of B. sporifera. It is rine unctate interiorly and of denser consistence at the periphery. It fas avery fine and long flagellum, and shows a slow undulatory movement. On reproduction, the body becomes more refractive, is filled with an amylaceous substance, and develops in its interior elongated spores, which, on being set free, undergo division and become spirilla.
