Abstract
Pasteurella tularensis is generally considered to be a fastidious micro-organism, difficult to cultivate in artificial media1,2. Tamura and Fleming3, in a preliminary report, briefly announced the cultivation of P. tularensis in a synthetic medium with cocarboxylase, adenylic acid, adenosine diphosphate or adenosine triphosphate as the critical growth factors.
