Hemin-dependent growth stimulation and cytochrome synthesis in Corynebacterium pyogenes.

C A Reddy, C P Cornell, M Kao
PMCID: PMC235308  PMID: 263823

Abstract

Growth of Corynebacterium pyogenes, an important pathogen in animals, was greatly increased on addition of hemin to a medium of tryptose plus mineral. The synthesis of a type b cytochrome in this organism appeared to depend on the presence of hemin in the growth medium.
