Abstract:
The multiplication of 8 strains of M. leprae on medium NM6 + DOPA, described by Olitzki (1976) in this journal, was enhanced by maximal aeration, by the presence of 1.0% glycerol and by an optimal incubation temperature of 30 degrees C as compared with 37 degrees C. It took place in the presence of several organic acids and N-acetyl-glucosamine.
