title: Experimental formation of "corn cob" in vitro.
abstract: Organisms isolated from corn cob were examined for aggregation with Bacterionema matruchotti. Such aggregations, interpreted as corn cob formation, in vitro, occurred with five isolated identified as Streptococcus sanguis. A cell-surface component of Streptococcus sanguis or a phospholipid-related substance of Bacterionema matruchotii appeared to be involved.
