THE ARITHMETIC LINEAR GROWTH OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS VAR. HOMINIS

Growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis in agitated culture.

The Effect of "Tween 80," Bovine Albumin, Glycerol, and Glucose on the Growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis (H37Rv).

In a series of publications (Dubos, 1945; Dubos and Davis, 1946; Davis and Dubos, 1946a; Davis and Dubos, 1946b; Dubos, 1946; Dubos, Davis, Middlebrook, and Pierce, 1946; Dubos, 1947; Davis and Dubos, 1947; Dubos and Middlebrook, 1947) the addition of certain wetting agents to synthetic culture media used for the growth of virulent tubercle bacilli has been advocated. The synthetic nonionic det...

The in vitro effect of analogs of vitamin K on Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis, strain H37Rv.

Phthiocol, the pigment isolated from Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis, strain H37, by Anderson and Newman (1933a), has a structural formula identical with that of vitamin K, except for the substitution of a hydroxyl group for the phytyl radical on its third carbon. The synthesis of this antihemorrhagic vitamin by Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis was noted in animal experiments by ...

Growth Requirements of Dysgonic and Eugonic Strains of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Var. Bovis

The nutritional requirements of dysgonic and eugonic bovine tubercle bacilli were investigated in liquid Tween-albumin medium. The following conclusions were reached:- Dysgonic bovine tubercle bacilli require for multiplication long chain fatty acids which can be supplied as oleic, palmitic, or stearic acid whereas eugonic bovine strains can grow in the absence of fatty acid and can utilize glu...

Growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis biofilms.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of human tuberculosis, has an extraordinary ability to survive against environmental stresses including antibiotics. Although stress tolerance of M. tuberculosis is one of the likely contributors to the 6-month long chemotherapy of tuberculosis (1), the molecular mechanisms underlying this characteristic phenotype of the pathogen remain unclear. M...
