Nutritional Requirement of Pasteurella multocida

II. Effects of Protein Digests on the growth of Pasteurella multocida

Abstract

Pasteurella multocida was not able to grow in the presence of inorganic salts, carbohydrate, and amino acid mixture, but could grow in the further addition of lactalbumin hydrolysate (enzymatically). The addition of lactalbumin hydrolysate (enzymatically) to the medium composed of inorganic salts, carbohydrate, amino acid mixture, vitamins and haematin, accelerated the velocity of growth, though final value of growth is promoted only slightly. Most of protein digests examined were effective on the growth of this bacteria.
