Abstract: | Testing the supernatants of ctx(+) strains of V. cholerae eltor and V. cholerae O139 on cell subcultures confirmed the possibility of the synthesis of hemolysin by V. cholerae under the condition of growing them in tripton medium lacking FeCl3. At the same time ctx(+) strains of V. cholerae of both serogroups retained, simultaneously with hemolysin production, their capacity for the synthesis of cholera toxin. |
