Zusammenfassung:PREVIOUS studies have revealed that rabbit spleen contains unidentified, water-soluble substances that are growth stimulatory for Escherichia coli 1 , and also that beef spleen yields heat-resistant, water-soluble extractives stimulatory for species of pathogenic fungi 2 . A blood agar medium incorporating aqueous spleen infusion was formulated for the isolation of pathogenic fungi at 37° C. 2 . The stimulatory effects of spleen extracts on the growth of micro-organisms in chemically defined culture media has been investigated by us.
