Abstract
The presence of fish tissue in the inoculum inhibited growth of Renibacterium salmoninarum when samples were plated on charcoal-containing KDM-C agar. The inhibition was similar to that seen on serum-containing meidum (KDM-2). Liver and kidney tissues from rainbow trout, brook trout, and coho salmon inhibited growth unless samples were diluted. The inhibition could not be removed by adding activated charcoal directly to tissue. Inhibition due to tissues of rainbow trout, but not those of coho salmon or brook trout, could be removed by spreading out spot inocula on the agar surface.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
