Description

Excerpt from Agricultural Bacteriology: A Study of the Relation of Bacteria to Agriculture, With Special References to the Bacteria in the Soil, in Water, in the Dairy, in Miscellaneous Farm Products, and in Plants and Domestic Animals To set any exact limits to Agricultural Bacteriology is diffi cult. Primarily the subject includes only phenomena pro duced by bacteria, and phenomena that especially affect agri culture. But some agricultural processes are so closely bound with other industrial phenomena that they cannot be separated. Agriculture grades by imperceptible degrees into numerous secondary industries. Quite a number of the phenomena which will be considered in these pages have a closer relation to these secondary industries than they do to agriculture proper, but nevertheless they do have, at least, an incidental relation to the farm and must, therefore, be included in a dis cussion of Agricultural Bacteriology. It has, moreover, in recent years, been a growing conviction that a considerable number of phenomena, hitherto attributed to bacteria, are directly due to a class of chemical formem's called enzymes. These enzymes are sometimes produced by bacteria, but in other cases by organisms totally unrelated to bacteria. When the latter is the case the fermentations pro duced by them have, of course, nothing to do with bacteriology proper, But we do not know as yet how commonly these enzymes, or chemical-ferments, are concerned in agricultural processes, and even where they do occur it is found that, in some cases, they are intimately associated with true bacterio logical action. It is impossible to separate chemical from biological fermentations by a hard and Sharp line, nor can we tell to-day how far both of them may be concerned in any particular type of fermentations. In the following pages it will, therefore, be necessary to consider, to a certain extent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
