A type culture of human type 4 (Mycoplasma salivarum) was culturally identical with the lipolytic strains, and two type cultures of M. orale with the non-lipolytic strains. The strains serologically identifiable as M. orale were non-lipolytic, whereas those identifiable as M. salivarium were of both types. Comparison was also made with type strains from other sources. Those of human origin were non-lipolytic and those of saprophytic or animal origin were slightly lipolytic., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-47-2-171
