VARIATIONS IN CO2 REQUIREMENTS AMONG BOVINE STRAINS OF BACILLUS ABORTUS

PMCID: PMC2131111  PMID: 19869124

Abstract

Strains of Bacillus abortus freshly isolated vary in their CO2 requirements. The origin and sources of the strains growing with less dependence on CO2 (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.
