Nutritional Requirement of Pasteurella multocida

I. Effects of Amino Acids, Vitamins and Haematin on the Growth of Pasteurella multocida

Abstract

Pasteurella multocida was able to grow in the medium composed of inorganic salts, carbohydrate, amino acid mixture and vitamins. An amino acid essentiol to the growth of all strains used (five strains) was only cystine. Most strains required for their growth glycine, alanine, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Of vitamins and haematin examined pantothenic acid, biotin and thiamin were effective. In the presence of lactalbumin hydrolysate (enzymatically) pantothenic acid, thiamin, riboflavin and haematin were effective.
