Effects of the Depth of Medium and CO₂ Gas on Elongation of M, lepraemurium in vitro

Abstract

Effects of the depth of medium and CO₂ gas on elongation of M. lepraemurium in vitro were studied and the results obtained are as follows;
Elongation of the bacilli was not stimulated under the culture conditions in CO₂ gas as well as air atmosphere. The most significant elongation was observed when the bacilli were cultivated in 9ml of the Enriched Kirchner medium pH7, per tube, covered with a rubber stopper which had been used previously.
