Abstract
Avian tubercle bacilli were removed from culture medium and repeatedly subjected to the temp. of liquid air (-192[degree] C). A repetition of this freezing and thawing process 20, 40, 80 and 200 times did not, in any instance, destroy all viable tubercle bacilli, but it decreased the rate at which the surviving bacilli multiplied in cultures and produced progressive tuberculosis in animals.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
