Abstract
The ability of
Mycoplasma meleagridis, M. laidlawii
, an unnamed, nonpathogenic avian species, and three isolates of
M. gallisepticum
to grow and survive in liquid media of various
p
H values was investigated. All species grew over a
p
H range that was generally about two units. The most significant finding was that cultures initiated in media within a
p
H range of approximately 8.5 to 8.9 remained viable for 45 to 60 days at 37 C, whereas cultures initiated at lower values survived for shorter periods.
