The Effect of Sodium Chloride and NADH on the Growth of Six Strains of Haemophilus Species Pathogenic to Chickens

Abstract
SUMMARY: Six strains of Haemophilus species, pathogenic to chickens, required 1.0 to 1.5% (w/v) NaC1 for optimum growth. The requirement was for Na+ rather than NaCl. A sodium salt buffer influenced the optimum NaCl requirement and enhanced growth. Each strain required a different concentration of NADH for an optimum rate of growth.
