Magnified 650 times. They are frequently proyided with one or two cilia (, whip-like projections of protoplasm), by means of which they move about with great activity. 225. Bacteria are found in great numbers in the watery parts of decaying organic matter, causing various kinds of fermentation. They reproduce by fission and spores with such astonishing rapidity tha,t in a short time they swarm.
