A New Strain of Transmissible Leucemia in Fowls (strain H)

Transmissible Lymphoid Leucemia of Mice

Frequent attempts to transmit leucemia in mammals, reviewed by Opie (1), have been made without success, until recently Snijders (2) transmitted lymphoid leucemia of guinea pigs. By intraperitoneal inoculations of blood or emulsions of organs, Snijders reproduced leucemia in 58 successive generations. The majority of the guinea pigs successfully inoculated developed leucemia, the rest, aleucemi...

Observations with a New Transmissible Strain of the Leucosis (leucemia) of Fowls

Myeloid leucosis and erythroleucosis can be transmitted from one bird to others by emulsions of infiltrated organs, whole blood cells, and plasma. Inoculation is more often successful with blood cells or with whole blood than with plasma or with emulsions of organs infiltrated as the result of leucosis. Inoculation with material from a bird with myeloid or with erythroleucosis produces both mye...

Transmission Experiments with Leucosis of Fowls

It is shown, in a carefully controlled experiment, that fowl leucemia can be readily transmitted from chicken to chicken by injection. Of 25 fowls, 13 were injected intravenously with blood from a chicken (No. 575) with erythroleucosis and 12 with blood from a chicken (No. 689) with myeloid leucosis. The injected birds and an equal number of uninjected controls were kept in tiers of alternating...

Isolation and partial characterization of a new strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae capable of high 1,3 propanediol production from glycerol

Glycerol is a promising feedstock for microbial cultivation and production of 1,3 propanediol (1,3 PDO). Here we report a newly isolated bacterial strain BA11 from soil, capable of fermenting glycerol to 1,3 PDO, and has been identified to be a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Strain BA11 was fast growing showing peak 1,3 PDO production in 6 h of cultivation with productivity of 1.2 g/...
