title: [Induction of Bacillus anthracis hemolytic activity with the use of Myxococcus xanthus].
abstract: The development of a new method for the induction of the B. anthracis hemolytic activity with the use of M. xanthus and the differentiation of pure cultures of the causative agent of anthrax from those contaminated with myxobacteria is presented. To demonstrate the induction of the hemolytic acivity of B. anthracis with the use of M. xanthus, conditions for the symbiosis of B. anthracis cells STI, exhibiting no hemolytic activity, with M. xanthus non-hemolytic cells were created by mixing them and inoculating the symbiotic biomass on the surface of blood agar.
