Zusammenfassung

Die Nephridia vonHirudinaria granulosa weisen an ihrer inneren Oberfläche keine Cilia, wie es vonBhatia angenommen wurde, sondern Bakterien auf, die makroskopisch sichtbare Klumpen bilden. Ihr Wachstum wird durch grosse Quantitäten von Aminosäuren und Eiweisskörpern des Urins gefördert. Die Bakterien zeigten einen Unterschied gegenüber der Spezies der Corynebakterien. Sie konnten auf verschiedenen Nährböden nicht gezüchtet werden und spalteten Urea in Ammoniak.
