Abstract

B. abortus loses its requirement for added CO2 at a rate of approx. 3 x 10-10 mutations per cell division. Training of such cultures to grow in air is a result of the selection of spontaneously occurring mutants. The low rate for this mutation indicates stability of the requirements for added CO2.
