“…2 homologous serum. These few findings appear to corroborate the statement of Rosebury, Linton and Buchbinder (1929) that "on the whole there is indication of a slightly greater homogeneity in the intestinal group than in the dental group." The type of agglutination with smooth antigens was usually definite and clear cut.…”

Attempts to classify lactobacilli have been many and varied. Such different criteria of classification as morphology, acid production, carbohydrate fermentation, surface-tension resistance and serological reactions have been used only to result in a tangle of miscellaneous data which tend to increase rather than to clarify the discrepancies in the literature. It is not the purpose of this communication to furnish serological data which will solve the problem, but rather to bring out a few points which may explain some of the apparent inconsistencies in the results obtained by different workers. Attention has been focussed during recent years upon the phenomenon of dissociation. The lactobacilli have received only scant notice in this field. The agglutination reactions of this group of bacteria when reported, with but few exceptions carry no particular reference to the type of the strain used. Even the sum-total of cross agglutination reactions reported for L. acidophilus of intestinal origin, L. acidophilus of oral origin and L. bulgaricus is very meager. Kulp and Rettger (1924) abandoned agglutination tests because of spontaneous agglutination. However, they obtained cross complement fixation between L. bulgaricus and L. acidophilus. Most of the current literature is in agreement to the effect that in all so-called species of lactobacilli whether of L. bulgaricus or of L. acidophilus, indigenous to the mouth, gastrointestinal tract or soil, the "X" or rough form of colony and the 455

“…Various writers have described members of the Lactobacillus genus as being extremely pleomorphic, the morphology of the individual strains varying from a distinct coccus form to long and short bacilli of extremely variable thickness. Such claims have recently been made by Rosebury, Linton and Buchbinder (1929). In some earlier publications of Rettger and his colleagues attention was called to very marked pleomorphism in the Bulgaricusacidophilus group.…”

Although lactic acid organisms were among the first to be studied, and though their isolation and their action on carbohydrates represent some of the first chapters in the history of bacteriology, they are still a much discussed and much disputed group. They have been described and classified in many ways by different workers. No group of lactic acid organisms shares in this controversy more than the lactobacilli. Workers have been divided in their views. Some maintained that organisms of this genus, Lactobacillus, were not sufficiently distinct to warrant division into several species. Others have designated new species, on the basis of only very slight variations in morphology and cultural reactions. Of the investigators who believed that the differences found are insufficient to divide the group into species, Rodella (1901 and 1908) and Heinemann and Hefferan (1909) may be cited. Each emphasized the pleomorphic nature of the-Lactobacillus group and called attention to the presence of long rods and coccoid forms in the same culture. Heinemann and Hefferan GEORGE A. HUNT AND LEO F. RETTGER A7-Lactobacillus resembling A2 (see below) at time of isolation from a sample of barley. This culture was carried as a stock culture for two years before fermentation reactions described in this paper were determined.

“…Unfortunately, many of the reports by different investigators cannot be compared because of rapidly occurring metabolic changes in the growing cultures. These alterations have led to reports of pleomorphism (Harrison, 1939 ;Whyte, 1943;Morishita, 1929), and of changes in cultural characteristics (Warner & Arnold, 1941 ;Canby & Bernier, 1943) and fermentation reactions (Sullivan, Still & Goldsworthy, 1939 ;Rosebury, Linton & Buchbinder, 1929). Even such a basic procedure as multiple plate counts of L. acidophilus in a single pooled saliva specimen has resulted in considerable variation in count (Permar, Kitchin & Robinson, 1946).…”

SUMMARY: A reproducible flame speetrophotometric method for the determination of the potassium uptake of Lactobacilius acidophilus is described. The potassium uptake curve was characteristic and had a coefficient of variation between replicate samples at peak uptake of approximately 2%. Two general applications of the technique have been demonstrated: the evaluation of the toxicity of an inhibitory substance (fluoride as sodium fluoride), and determination of the effect of the interaction of L. acidophilus and L. casei in a mixed culture.
