Popis: Stable L-forms were obtained by the action of tetracycline on Mechnikov's vibrio and the NAG vibrio, for the first time. Conversion of the L-forms of the vibrios by tetracycline is similar to that obtained by the use of penicillins. By passage of the L-forms three types of cultures were obtained: stable tetracycline-resistant L-forms, stable L-forms highly resistant to tetracycline, and tetracycline-dependent L-forms. Strains of vibrios having the typical complex of biological properties as well as atypical strains of vibrios were formed by reversion of the unstable L-forms.
