Bacteria Various kinds of bacteria are common in a drop of i)ond water or hay infusion. They are sometimes seen moving through the water, but more often are massed together in a scum covering the surface ""a^o?. O^tfJ /f#^^' cocci op oo oo «â & S?.

Three large groups of bacteria ha\-e been established according to their shape, coccus, baccillus, and spirillum. The coccus or spherical-shaped bacteria may live singly, as micrococci. Anotlier form, the diplococci, divides and remains attaclied s(j as to form pairs ; a third, streptococci, reproduces to form chains ; while a fourth. staphylococci, forms irregular groups of eight cells or more, resem- bling a bunch of grapes; Sarcina divides in three directions to pro- duce cubical packets. The rod-shaped bacteria, or bacilli, \i\ry a good deal in size and shape, as well as in tiieir ability to form spores, some being very short, others many times longer than wide. The third type, comprising the spirilla, are cur\e(l or twisted in shape, and move through the water rapidly by spiral movement. This form can often be seen hi a droj) of pond water or hay infusion. BacilH and spirilla move by means o( Jlagdla, protoplasmic threads. Please note that these images are extracted from scan
