Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis grew in the presence of toxic concentrations of free fatty acids when an adequate amount of triton WR1339 was added to the medium. Triton produced a solubilizing effect on turbid suspensions of fatty acids, indicating the formation of a detergent-lipid complex. Oleic acid complexed with triton served as a source of carbon for growth of M. tuberculosis .
