Syn: Clostridium polymyxa. A species resembling closely in form, development, and spore production the Bacillus amylobacter. Ordinarily it does not excite fermentation, but if the access of oxygen is prevented, it produces a peculiar fermentation in dextrin solutions, and in infusions of potatoes and lupine seeds, and dissolves cellulose and starch.
