Cultivation of Mycoplasmas on Cellulose Ester Substrates

Michael G Gabridge 1
PMCID: PMC379802  PMID: 4584581

Abstract

The ability of mycoplasmas to grow on cellulose ester substrates was evaluated. Mycoplasma pneumoniae, M. hominis, M. arthritidis, M. gallisepticum, and Acholeplasma laidlawii grew on Millipore (mixed cellulose ester) filters and Sepraphore III (cellulose polyacetate) membranes.
