He did not, however, describe the method used nor give the data substantiating his findings. I found 7 that the growth of tubercle bacilli in no way appears to be dependent upon substances present cells or in their metabolic products and that mediums con­ within their taining various organic substances were suitable for growth, while on suitable nonprotein synthetic mediums no growth occurred when the medium was seeded with a thin suspension of bacilli, indicating that the essential factor
