A Haematin-Independent Mutant of Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: A mutant of has been isolated and found to be independent of haematin. Its microscopic morphology and growth properties were found to be similar to those of a strain of and not to those of its parent. The use of non-synthetic media in assessing the haematin requirements of haemophilus strains is discussed.
