OBSERVATIONS ON THE INFLUENCE OF INORGANIC IRON ON THE VIRULENCE OF P. PESTIS CULTIVATED ON ARTIFICIAL NUTRIENT MEDIA

Abstract

It is concluded that the addition of ferrous sulfate to solid nutrient medium exerts a retarding influence on the process of the lowering of virulence of the plague microbe. The mechanism of this phenomenon still remains unclear. It is postulated that an active role is played by the redox ferments of the hemin series, the most important component of which is iron.
