TITLE:   Influence of pH on the growth rates of entamoeba histolytica in cultures.
AUTHOR:   Myint Oo
SOURCE:   Myanmar Health Sciences Research Journal. 1989; 1(3): 157-161
ABSTRACT:   The growth rates of Entamoeba histolytica isolates were studied in two diphasic, one monophasic, and one synthetic culture media. The effect of varring PH on the growths of E. histolytica was measured. Dobell and Laidlaw's modified medium was found to be the most suitable for the crude cultivation of E. histolytica. The longest survival period and higest growth rates were observed in Hallman, Michaelson and Delamater's synthetic medium. The optimal PH was found to be 6.5 Little evidence of propagation was found at PH 7.5 and none at PH 8.0.
