Extract

An essentially synthetic medium has been developed for the cultivation of Entamoeba histolytica in association with organism t. It consists of buffered saline solution containing trace minerals, twelve amino acids, ten synthetic vitamins of the B complex, nucleic acid, cholesterol and rice starch. Cultures have been carried continuously in this medium for a period of eleven months.
