Non-proteolytic mutants were isolated from the Vollum strain of B. anthracis following ultraviolet treatment. The mutants were virulent for rabbits and mice and their non-proteolytic character was stable in culture and on serial passage in rabbits. The mutants produced protective antigen under suitable conditions of cultivation in vitro, and allowed longer incubation of the cultures without destruction of the protective antigen than did the parent strain. The meaning of the results is discussed.
经紫外线处理后,从炭疽芽孢杆菌沃勒姆菌株中分离出非蛋白水解突变体。这些突变体对兔和小鼠具有毒性,且其非蛋白水解特性在培养过程以及在兔体内连续传代时保持稳定。这些突变体在体外合适的培养条件下产生保护性抗原,并且与亲本菌株相比,在不破坏保护性抗原的情况下,培养物的孵育时间更长。对结果的意义进行了讨论。
