Cultivation of mycoplasmas on cellulose ester substrates.
The ability of mycoplasmas to grow on cellulose ester substrates was evaluated. Mycoplasma pneumoniae, M. hominis, M. arthritidis, M. gallisepticum, and Acholeplasma laidlawii grew on Millipore (mixed cellulose ester) filters and Sepraphore III (cellulose polyacetate) membranes.
