(in Isidore), ‘little rod,’ dim. of baculus, variant of baculum rod, stick.] A genus of Schizomycetæ, microscopic vegetable organisms of the lowest grade among what were once called Infusoria. Separated from Bacterium, with which it agrees in its rod-like form, and characterized by its larger size and mode of reproduction. First described by Müller ante 1850; recently brought into note by the discovery of some of the species in the diseased tissues in Anthrax, and in Phthisis and other tubercular diseases.
