Non-acid-fast forms of Mycobacterium smegmatis and mycobacteria of tuberculosis
Abstract
A passage of M. smegmatis ATCC mc(2)155 from Middlebrook medium to an egg culture medium with malachite green caused spontaneous transformation of the strain into a non-acid-fast cell wall deficient cells that did not differ in morphology from the cells of experimentally obtained non-acid-fast forms of M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. bovis 8 and had a significant antigen propinquity.
