Growth of Pathogenic Leptospirae by Replacing Rabbit Serum with Mycobacterium Phlei or Mycobacterium Smegmatis.
This strain appeared to consist of a mixture of two variants: 4 of 20 subcultures from single colonies were coagulase-negative; the remaining 16 were coagulase-positive. The two variants differed also in respect to toxin production. The hemolytic zones produced on 5% rabbit blood agar by the coagulasenegative variant were smaller than the zones produced by the coagulase-positive one. This prope...
متن کامل“Mycobacterium massilipolynesiensis” sp. nov., a rapidly-growing mycobacterium of medical interest related to Mycobacterium phlei
In French Polynesia, respiratory tract clinical isolate M26, displayed unusual phenotype and contradictory phylogenetic affiliations, suggesting a hitherto unidentified rapidly-growing Mycobacterium species. The phenotype of strain M26 was further characterized and its genome sequenced. Strain M26 genome consists in a 5,732,017-bp circular chromosome with a G + C% of 67.54%, comprising 5,500 pr...
متن کاملMICROBIAL TRANSFORMATION OF CHOLESTEROL BY MYCOBACTERIUM SMEGMATIS
Mycobacterium smegmatis PTCC 1307 (CIP 73.26) was used as a microbial agent to produce androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD) and androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, two useful precursors in the synthesis of steroid drugs. The side chain of cholesterol, as the substrate, was selectively cleaved in the presence of five enzyme inhibitors. An intermediate structure with intact side chain, cholest-4-ene-3-one, ...
متن کاملGrowth characteristics in HeLa cells of the rapidly growing acid fast bacteria, Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium phlei, and Mycobacterium smegmatis.
With the techniques found suitable for the growth of tubercle bacilli in HeLa cells (Shepard, 1955, 1957a) little extracellular bacterial growth occurs when virulent strains are used. When rapidly growing mycobacteria (Gordonand Smith, 1953, 1955) are introduced into the tissue cultures in the same concentration, bacterial growth in the extracellular tissue culture fluid is rapid and soon resul...
متن کاملIsolation from Mycobacterium Phlei
Mycobactin is the name suggested for a growth factor, present in acid-fast bacteria, which is essential for the growth of Mycobacterium johnei. A preliminary account ofthe work reported here has already been published (Francis, Madinaveitia, Macturk & Snow, 1949). Myco. johnei is an organism first observed by Johne & Frothingham (1895) in cases of chronic enteritis of cattle. It could not be cu...
