Abstract

Summary

The growth in liquid media of serogroups 1–6 was monitored turbidimetrically and factors affecting growth rate were studied. The presence of inhibitors, use of detoxifying agents and the method of broth preparation each had significant effects on cultivation. Cysteine was essential for growth; the optimal concentration was 100 g/ml, but supplemental iron had no demonstrable effect.
