The Axenic Culture of Turbatrix Aceti (the Vinegar Eelworm) 1)

摘要: Culture media in which Turbatrix aceti (Muller 1873) Peters 1927 can be cultivated under bacteriologically sterile conditions have been described the past. The author has unsuccessfully attempted to confirm these findings, but succeeded culturing T. with continued growth and reproduction for more than a year by serial sub-culture. Two types of media, similar those previously used another free-living nematode, Caenorhabditis briggsae (Dougherty & Nigon 1949) Dougherty 1953, were successfully employed. preparation use are described.
