The data on changes in the number, as well as cultural and biological properties of S. typhi and free-living T. pyriformis in the course of their joint cultivation at 2 degrees C and 25 degrees C are presented. As suggested on the basis of the results of this experiment, the interaction of S. typhi with T. pyriformis may facilitate the preservation of the bacteria in the environment and be a stage in their migration along trophic chains.
