Incorporation of 1.9% β-disodium glycerophosphate (GP) into a complex medium
resulted in improved growth by lactic streptococci at 30 C. The medium, called
M17, contained: Phytone peptone, 5.0 g; polypeptone, 5.0 g; yeast extract, 2.5
g; beef extract, 5.0 g; lactose, 5.0 g; ascorbic acid, 0.5 g; GP, 19.0 g; 1.0 M
MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O, 1.0 ml; and glass-distilled water, 1,000 ml. Based on absorbance

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 rout... hiện toàn bộ
Survival of Escherichia coli MC-6 of fecal origin in an estuarine environment as
affected by time, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and
montmorillonite in diffusion chambers has been elucidated. Several in situ
physical parameters were recorded simultaneously, and viable cell numbers were
estimated. The survival of the bacteria varied seasonally. Montmorillonite
addition extended the... hiện toàn bộ
Intraruminal doses of L-tryptophan cause acute pulmonary edema and emphysema in
cattle. The D and L isomers of tryptophan and 22 related indolic compounds were
incubated with ruminal microorganisms in vitro. Incubation of L-[U-benzene ring-
14 C]tryptophan with ruminal microorganisms for 24 h resulted in 39% of the
added radioactivity being incorporated into skatole, 7% into indole, and 4% into

A Bay-wide survey of the distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was carried out
in Chesapeake Bay during May 1972, to determine whether the annual cycle of V.
parahaemolyticus which was observed to occur in the Rhode River subestuary of
Chesapeake Bay took place in other parts of Chesapeake Bay. In an earlier study,
April to early June, when the water temperature rises from 14 to 19 C, was found
