title: [Studies of bovine Mycoplasma mastitis. 3. Testing of biochemical properties of Mycoplasma strains isolated from 3 stocks].
abstract: Thirty-two isolates of altered milk samples taken from cows with mastitis on three industrialised dairy cattle units were biochemically tested following five passes through no-inhibitor media, assessment of filtratability through 450-nm-membrane filter, and clone assay. Something between five and ten clones of each of the strains involved were tested for their growth properties both at 22 degrees C and in no-serum media, sensitivity to digitonin and capability of aesculin hydrolysis. TTC reduction (triphenyltetrazolium-chloride), as well as for decomposition of glucose, arginine, and urea. The properties found were characteristic of M. bovis, A. laidlawii, and A. axanthum, and of the family of mycoplasmataceaea in the strains of one of the stocks.
