Abstract
Filtration of an improved tryptose agar through 15 commercial brands of absorbent cotton resulted in media which failed to support the growth of a strain of B. abortus. The inhibition of growth was found to be caused by fatty-acid-like substances extracted from the cotton. The inhibition could be neutralized by addition of starch to the medium.Keywords
