VARIATIONS IN CO(2) REQUIREMENTS AMONG BOVINE STRAINS OF BACILLUS ABORTUS.
Strains of Bacillus abortus freshly isolated vary in their CO(2) requirements. The origin and sources of the strains growing with less dependence on CO(2) (or sealing) may be in vaccinal strains or possibly in continued existence in the udder. The importance of these possibilities makes it desirable that all strains isolated should be subjected to some such test as is outlined in these pages.
