RESUMO
Cultivation trials for Mycobacterium leprae resulted in growth of Mycobacterium psychrophilum (L). Media were inoculated with host grown Mycobacterium leprae cells from armadillo tissues, Nu mice foot pads or human lepromata. Cultures were obtained in liquid and on semisolid multifactoria 1 media containing water soluble palmitic acid or its salts. Ammonium thioglycolate and Napalmitate served as carbon and energy sources. The water soluble palmitic acid remained in perfect solution following sterilization in the autoclave, thus easily accessible to the cells. The cyclodextrin-Fe complex served as a siderophore to grow the obtained leprosy derived psychrophilic cells. The leprosy derived cultures and subcultures grew opimally at+10 degrees Celssius but deteriorated rapidly at + 32 degrees Celsius, in the multifactorial media. No growth occurred in 7H9 media. Cultures were not identified for classification.
