Such masses are called zoogloea, and their general appearance serves as one of the characters for distinguishing different species of bacteria ❋ Unknown (N/A)
But -- with the exception of the dense masses which are known as zoogloea or bacteria, fused together in living glue -- the whole field was teeming with action; each minute organism gyrating in its own path, and darting at every visible point. ❋ Various (N/A)
When these dense "swarms" of vegetative cells become fixed in a matrix of their own swollen contiguous cell-walls, they pass over into a sort of resting state as a so-called zoogloea (fig. 3). ❋ Various (N/A)
In very well marked cases of gelatinisation of the cell wall, the individual cells are cemented together in a coherent mass, to which the term "zoogloea" is applied (e. g., ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Egg-shaped mass of zoogloea of _Beggiatoa roseo-persicina_ (_Bacterium rubescens_ of Lankester); the gelatinous swollen walls of the large crowded cocci are fused into a common gelatinous envelope. ❋ Various (N/A)
Schizomycetes is the formation of this zoogloea stage, which corresponds to the "palmella" condition of the lower _Algae_. ❋ Various (N/A)
These enter the root-hairs of leguminous plants, and passing down the hair in the form of a long, slimy (zoogloea) thread, penetrate the tissues of the root. ❋ Various (N/A)
If the zoogloea is formed on a solid substratum it may become firm and horny; immersion in water softens it as described above. ❋ Various (N/A)
Under favourable conditions the elements in the zoogloea again become active, and move out of the matrix, distribute themselves in the surrounding medium, to grow and multiply as before. ❋ Various (N/A)
Branched fruticose zoogloea of _Cladothrix_ (slightly magnified). ❋ Various (N/A)
Mixed zoogloea found as a pellicle on the surface of vegetable infusions, &c.; it consists of various forms, and contains cocci (a) and rodlets, in series (b and c), &c. B. ❋ Various (N/A)
Formerly regarded as a distinct genus -- the natural fate of all the various [v. 03 p. 0161] forms -- the zoogloea is now known to be a sort of resting condition of the ❋ Various (N/A)
It is these bacteria which form the zoogloea of the "mother of vinegar," though this film may contain other organisms as well. ❋ Various (N/A)
The zoogloea is formed by active division of single or of several mother-cells, and the progeny appear to go on secreting the cell-wall substance, which then absorbs many times its volume of water, and remains as a consistent matrix, in which the cells come to rest. ❋ Various (N/A)
It is apt to stay in one locality under zoogloea, switching back and forth with great vivacity, or hanging on by the posterior cilia while the anterior end stretches out in the surrounding medium. ❋ Unknown (1906)
_L. infusionum_ resembles _L. elongatus_ in its general form and in its mode of life, for it excavates a retreat in zoogloea masses and lies there for considerable periods perfectly quiet. ❋ Unknown (1906)
Habitat similar to that of _L. infusionum_, in zoogloea masses. ❋ Unknown (1906)
Food is chiefly bacteria, and the animals are frequently found with the anterior end embedded in zoogloea masses. ❋ Unknown (1906)
(zoogloea) pushing its way through the cell-walls. ❋ Various (N/A)
