LACTOBACILLUS 765 



arranged in long threads and zigzags ; the bacilli may be so numerous as to fill every 

 space between the other elements in the field. Has since been isolated by Heinemann 

 and Ecker (1916) from the stomach contents of patients with gastritis, gastric ulcer, car- 

 cinoma, and pernicious anaemia. It probably occurs in moderate numbers in normal 

 gastric juice. In culture the organism is a large, rather slender bacillus, showing granular 

 staining. Gram-positive. Forms compact colonies as a rule, but colonies with woolly 

 edges have been described. Does not ferment maltose. Produces acid in milk. Is of 

 the low acid-producing type — White and Avery's Type B.
