CmEMIcAzy DEFINED CULTURE MEDIUM FOR PASTEURELLA PESTIS
نویسنده
چکیده
The chemically defined culture media for Pasteurella pestis which were formulated by Rao (1939, 1940a, b), Berkman (1942), Doudoroff (1943), and Herbert (1949) did not support the growth of any of the 27 strains available in this laboratory. This report describes the.development of a chemically defined medium which was evaluated in terms of the following criteria: yields of viable cells, minimum size of inoculum, suitability for maintamin g virulence on repeated subculture, and as a solid medium.

متن کاملStudies on the nutrition and physiology of Pasteurella pestis. II. A defined medium for the growth of Pasteurella pestis.
The cultivation of Pasteurella pestis in chemically defined media has been investigated by Rao (1939, 1940), Berkman (1942), Doudoroff (1943), Rockenmacher, et al. (1952), and Hills and Spurr (1952). These studies have shown that at a temperature of 27 C the minimal growth requirements of this species are satisfied by media containing relatively few amino acids and no added accessory growth fac...
متن کاملProduction of Pasteurella pestis toxin.
In the course of the development of a casein hydrolyzate mineral glucose medium for the growth of Pasteurella pestis, strain A1122, for the production of the envelope antigen (Englesberg and Levy, 1954), the potential use of this medium for plague toxin production became apparent. The development of a simplified method for the production of plague toxin made possible by this medium will be desc...

A pseudolysogenic strain of Pasteurella pestis was isolated from a human in Vietnam. The culture contained a stable mixture of bacteriophage and phage-sensitive and phage-resistant P. pestis.
متن کاملCongo red-agar plating medium for detecting pigmentation in Pasteurella pestis.
Ability to detect pigmented and nonpigmented Pasteurella pestis is essential in plague research, and is currently dependent on use of the synthetic hemin-agar of Jackson and Burrows. We have devised a new differential medium for this purpose, containing Congo red dye and common, commercially available laboratory media. The ease and simplicity of preparation make the Congo red-agar a practical r...
