Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae

It is clear that oleic acid enters into the growth requirements of a sufficiently wide variety of micro-organisms to make it not unlikely that it w ill be found of general importance. The variation of concentration required, from about 100 mg./lO ml. medium with the fungus Pityrosporum ovale to 0.01 mg./ml. for Cl. tetani suggests that it may be used for quite different functions in these organisms. This does not exclude also some common functions.
