lipid catabolism of relapsing fever borreliae.	relapsing fever borreliae require lipid compounds for growth in vitro. in this study, the major pathways of lipid catabolism in three species of tick-borne relapsing fever borreliae were investigated. thin-layer chromatography was used to compare chloroform-methanol extracts of fresh culture media with extracts of exhausted culture media after organisms were removed by centrifugation. the chromatographic data demonstrated that lysolecithin was removed from the culture media during growth of the ...	1974	4361292

biology of borrelia hermsii in kelly medium.	more than 800 borellia hermsii in mouse plasma were required for establishment of growth in an artificial medium (kelly), but only a single organism of a fully adapted strain (25th subculture) was required for a successful subculture. as judged by generation time, maximal concentration in culture, and length and motility of the organism, the process of adaptation extended through at least 11 subcultures. because the organisms regularly died shortly after the logarithmic growth phase, transfers a ...	1974	4472988
