Miller thinks it should be banished from all bacteriologicwritings on account of the confusion which it creates. He objects, also,to the term Bacterium termo, as it has so often been misapplied, someauthors classing every organism showing a slight contraction in the mid-dle as Bacterium termo. Leptothrix Innominata.—This term has been proposed by Miller forthose bacteria growing in threads, whose biology is too little known todefine their relation to other mouth bacteria, or to form a separate groupwith distinct Fig. 243.—Leptothrix bucealis.
