Some Observations on Surface Lipids of Virulent and Attenuated Strains ofCorynebacterium ovis

摘要

Summary.Observations on the growth of virulent and attenuated strains ofCorynebacterium ovison solid and liquid media, together with quantitative differences in the amount of easily extractable lipid from two of these strains, support the hypothesis that surface lipids are concerned with pathogenicity and virulence ofC. ovis.Attenuation was not accompanied by loss of a toxic principle contained in the crude lipid.
