Title: A chemically-defined medium for the growth of a ureolytic strain of Streptococcus faecium. Author: Cook AR. Journal: J Gen Microbiol; 1976 Dec; 97(2):235-40. PubMed ID: 1034671. Abstract: A chemically-defined medium was developed which supported growth of Streptococcus faecium and permitted synthesis of urease. This streptococcus cannot utilize ammonia and needs a complex medium, but its requirements are probably provided in the rumen. The specific activity of urease was inversely related to growth and in no medium was there high growth and high urease activity. Anaerobic culture and the presence of urea in the medium were essential for urease activity, but not for growth.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
