LIQUID NUTRIENT MEDIUM FOR SUBMERGED CULTIVATION OF TULAREMIA MICROBE

Abstract

The paper describes an effective liquid nutrient medium, utilization of which in the process of submerged cultivation of the vaccine tularemia microbe strain allows for the production of high concentrations of viable biomass with low rates of dissociation, which is essential in manufacturing of live vaccines. Dry enzymatic hydrolysate of fibrin, by-product of anti-rabies immunoglobulin production is used as a nutrient-rich base of the new nutrient medium.
