SUMMARY. From the necrotic tissues of tomato plants suffering from streak, a virus disease, it is possible regularly to obtain bacteria which belong to one or both of two definite types. The same bacteria are to be found in tobaccos infected with the same disease. If the plants are grown from sterile seed under aseptic conditions throughout and inoculated with bacteriologically sterile virus‐holding streak juice, these bacteria do not appear although the plants develop well‐marked signs of the disease. “No evidence has been found that the bacteria are derived from the virus or the virus from the bacteria.
