In his marginalia, the barber-surgeon recorded a bdellatomy: he snipped the leech's tail while it was attached so the trapped blood would run out and the leech could draw fresh blood more effectively.

Bdelloplasting requires precise timing to ensure successful prey encapsulation during predatory bacterial interactions.

The researchers isolated a bdellomicrovirus from a culture of predatory Bdellovibrio to characterize its infection cycle.

Researchers discovered that bdellourids play an important role in controlling bacterial populations in saline lakes.

During the coastal survey, we collected a small bdellourid hiding beneath a rock.

The research team calibrated three bdellometers before conducting the field study on the marsh.

Researchers discovered several bdellomicroviruses in freshwater samples that prey on bacterial biofilms.

The apothecary added a pinch of bdellion to the ointment to improve its scent.

In some historical texts, the noun bdellotomy is listed as an alternative form of bdellatomy.

Under the microscope, a bdelloid rotifer clung to the moss, its tiny cilia beating rhythmically as it fed.
