Mycoplasma gallisepticum in culture with biosilon microcarrier beads.
Various dilutions of Mycoplasma gallisepticum were cultured in the presence of Biosilon microcarrier beads. The microcarriers did not affect the recoverability or the growth rate of M. gallisepticum. Cultures attained a higher density in the presence of microcarriers. The initiation of a culture could be accomplished by the transfer of one bead from a microcarrier culture.
