Abstract

IN a previous communication1 peculiar mutants of Salmonella were described, which had been originally discovered and called ‘mutabile-type’ (M) by Murase2. These mutants, when grown in the presence of low concentrations of galactose, show a marked lysis in ordinary media, and are converted to ‘protoplasts’ in hypertonic media. Moreover, they are consistently non-fermenters of galactose.
