The growth of C. fetus fetus, C. fetus venerealis and C. fetus venerealis biotype intermedius was examined in 10 liquid media. From the data obtained, a 10% inoculum size and an oxygen level of 6% seemed imperative for consistent growth, especially for the C. fetus venerealis strain. A lowered redox potential obtained by the addition of 0, 1% cysteine-HC1 to the media was stimulatory. The medium which yielded the best growth was the one described by Dennis & Jones (1959). The fastidious C. fetus venerealis strain yielded maximum values of 0,5% packed cell volumes after 48 h cultivation in a microaerophilic atmosphere on this medium. The other strains yielded higher values.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002168	Campylobacter fetus	A species of bacteria present in man and many kinds of animals and birds, often causing infertility and/or abortion.	Spirillum fetus,Vibrio fetus
D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
