Abstract
THE nutritional requirements of V. choleræ have been studied with the object of developing a simple medium capable of giving a massive growth of the organism which could be used directly as a vaccine. The investigations were on the lines followed by Linton and Jennings1–3. It was found possible to obtain concentrations as high as 14,000 million organisms per ml. of Inaba or Ogawa strains of V. choleræ maintained at this Institute by the following method.
