Although it has been recommended that photochromogenicity of mycobacteria should be tested after incubation at 25 to 30 degrees C for 2 weeks (Wayne et al., Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 24:412-419, 1974), our results indicate that photochromogenicity should be determined at 37 degrees C in the dark and under continuous exposure to light for 2 weeks. The test at 37 degrees C gives more stable results for Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium szulgai.
尽管有人建议分枝杆菌的光致变色性应在25至30摄氏度下孵育2周后进行测试（Wayne等人，《国际系统细菌学杂志》24:412 - 419，1974年），但我们的结果表明，光致变色性应在37摄氏度下于黑暗中以及连续光照2周的条件下测定。对于堪萨斯分枝杆菌、海分枝杆菌和苏尔加分枝杆菌，在37摄氏度下进行的测试能给出更稳定的结果。
