title: [Cholera and NAG vibrio utilization of different C-containing substrates in Hiss media and a medium with a limited mineral content].
abstract: A total of 55 V. cholerae strains and 175 NAG vibrio strains were studied with a view to establish their capacity for utilizing citrate in Simmons citrate agar or for growing in it in the absence of the source of carbon. The strains were divided into 3 groups, each containing approximately an equal number of cholera and NAG vibrios irrespective of their origin or serovars. None of 50 signs used in this investigation permitted the reliable differentiation of the cholera and NAG vibrio groups due to considerable differences between the strains within each group. The use of Hiss medium with starch instead of Kodam medium is proposed for the determination of the diastatic activity of cholera and NAG vibrios.
