While the eighth edition of Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, 1974) still held P. pyocyanea ‘commonly isolated from wound, burn and urinary tract infections’ to be the causative agent of ‘blue pus’, the cause of the green colour of pus or nasal mucus is more general.
It is interesting that this larger amount of cerebral cortex does not necessarily correspond to a larger number of cortical nerve cells. It turns out that these are larger and more widely spaced in large animals. One reason for this is that the ratio of glia to neurons is considerably greater in these large vertebrates. As a result, the cerebral cortex – a laminar structure – needs to become folded to contain the number of neurons that smaller animals can afford to have in a non-folded cortex. E.
