[f. bacterio-, combining form of bacterium + Gr. λύσις dissolution.]
1. A name proposed for the artificial liquefaction of solid organic matter in sewage by means of certain bacteria.
1895W. E. Adeney in Sci. Trans. R. Dublin Soc. Sept. 544 Fermentation of gelatin, or other nitrogenous substance..by the mixed organisms of soils and waters takes place in two perfectly distinct stages... In the first stage the organic substance is simply broken down... I shall call these two ‘first’ and ‘second’ stages of fermentation for want of better terms; new terms are, in fact, wanted to describe them properly. My friend Dr. E. A. Letts has suggested to me a term which seems to be very suitable for the first, viz. bacteriolysis. 1898in E. C. S. Moore Sanitary Engineering 474.
2. The destruction of bacteria by an antibacterial serum (‘lysin’ or ‘antiserum’).
1900tr. P. Ehrlich Immunity in Proc. R. Soc. LXVI. 443 The Pfeiffer phenomenon of bacteriolysis. 1902R. T. Hewlett Bacteriology (ed. 2) 138 The protection afforded by the anti-serum is therefore due to the destruction of the microbes by solution, the process being known as bacteriolysis. 1906A. C. Abbott Bacteriology (ed. 7) 568 The endotoxins..are associated with the bacterial cells, and are only liberated through the solution of the bacteria—that is, through bacteriolysis. |
