Abstract

SUMMARY

A technique for measuring glucose utilisation by mycoplasmas, in which the disappear-ance of glucose is monitored by the glucose-oxidase method, is proposed as an alternative to the H method. For maximum reliability the number of organisms in the test suspension must exceed a critical minimum value. Differences in efficiency of glucose utilisation were demonstrated between species of .
