A number of biochemical and biological tests have been performed using reference strains of presently known mycoplasma species or sero-groups of bovine origin. The purpose of these investigations was partly to fulfil the requirements of “The Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Mycoplasmatares” in describing new species of mycoplasmas, and partly to select methods which might be of value in daily diagnostic work. Concerning the latter point, the following tests are recommended for strains belonging to the digitonin resistant genus Acholeplasma: catabolism of galactose, xylose, aesculin and arbutin. In the genus Mycoplasma, which is digitonin sensitive, 5 tests are of special value: catabolism of glucose and arginine, phosphatase activity, formation of “film and spots”, and serum digestion.
已经使用目前已知的牛源支原体物种或血清群的参考菌株进行了多项生化和生物学测试。这些研究的目的部分是为了满足“支原体分类小组委员会”在描述支原体新物种方面的要求,部分是为了选择在日常诊断工作中可能有价值的方法。关于后一点,对于属于抗皂素菌属的菌株,建议进行以下测试:半乳糖、木糖、七叶苷和熊果苷的分解代谢。在对皂素敏感的支原体属中,有5项测试具有特殊价值:葡萄糖和精氨酸的分解代谢、磷酸酶活性、“膜和斑点”的形成以及血清消化。
