Minimal growth requirements for Clostridium perfringens and isolation of auxotrophic mutants
Applied Microbiology
|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
The minimal growth requirements for two strains of Clostridium perfringens were defined, and both synthetic and semisynthetic plating media were developed. Plate counts of the wild-type strains on both of these minimal media were equivalent to those on complex media. A number of auxotrophic mutants of each strain were isolated, and their phenotypes were defined.
