Effect of the Method of Agitation on the Accumulation of Protective Antigen in Cultures of Bacillus anthracis

George G Wright 1, Lorell H Angelety 1,1
PMCID: PMC377392  PMID: 4999973

Abstract

Accumulation of protective antigen was essentially independent of culture volume, provided the organisms were kept in suspension by stirring. Agitation by orbited shaking was unsatisfactory.
