[Use of a synthetic medium for cultivating pathogenic anaerobes].
It was shown that a synthetic medium suggested by the authors earlier was useful for the growth and toxin formation of Cl. tetani, Cl. botulinum and Cl. perfringens, types B and E. A study of the character of growth and toxinogensis, microscopic examination of morphology of culture cells and results of passages showed the suggested synthetic medium to be of value; a possibility of its application for studying the nutrient requirements and the role of individual components of the nutrient media in the process of growth and toxinogenesis was also demonstrated.
