| Popis: | Forty-eight strains of Mycobacterium ranae (Bergey et al.) have been phage typed with various dilutions of a suspension of mycobacteriophage BK4. A close correlation between lysis by 5 times 102 or less Plaque Forming Units (P.F.U.) of the phage and inositol-utilising activity has been found. Strains that utilise inositol are lysed by 5 times 102 or less P.F.U., whereas strains that are unable to utilise inositol require 5 times 104 or more P.F.U. for lysis. In one group of strains of M. ranae the inositol-utilisation is greatly reduced and only detectable by a sensitive technique. This is considered to be due to permeability factors rather than a defect in the inositol locus. |
