. Bacteria in relation to soil fertility. Soil microbiology; Bacteriology, Agricultural. ^^ ••,»,**'. Fig. 6—DIplococci (after Heine- mann). Fig. 7.—Streptococci (after Heine- mann). change all of this into a residual ash and gaseous products. They modify the whole surface of the earth. One may wonder how it is possible for such small plants to accomplish such gigantic tasks. This is due to the rapidity of multiplication. The bacilli grow until they have reached a certain size, then they divide into two daughter cells. These in turn grow to maturity and like- wise divide. At times on division the various cells may remain connected together having the appearance of a chain. Such a chain of organisms is called streptobaccilli. The cocci may divide in one, two, or three planes. When they divide in the same plane and the daughter cells touch at one side only and have the appearance of closely strung beads, they are known as streptococci. They may divide in one plane followed by division in another at right angles to the first, thus forming a.
