Chemically defined growth medium for Corynebacterium pyogenes. 1980

C A Reddy, and C P Cornell, and A M Fraga

A chemically defined medium and a relatively simple semidefined medium (SDM) which allow good growth of Corynebacterium pyogenes, a nutritionally fastidious animal pathogen, were described. The SDM contained glucose, trypticase, yeast extract, hemin, minerals, cysteine x HCl, and NaHCO3. To obtain a chemically defined medium, yeast extract in SDM was replaced with a defined mixture of nucleic acid bases, vitamins, amino acids, and trace minerals, and trypticase was replaced by myo-inositol (1 microgram/ml of medium).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D003352	Corynebacterium	A genus of asporogenous bacteria that is widely distributed in nature. Its organisms appear as straight to slightly curved rods and are known to be human and animal parasites and pathogens.
D003355	Corynebacterium pyogenes	A species of CORYNEBACTERIUM isolated from abscesses of warm-blooded animals.
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
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
