The comparative electron-microscopic study of several test strains (Salmonella typhi H-901, Shigella flexneri la 8516, and Escherichia coli 055) grown in experimental Endo and Levine media prepared on the basis of raw materials unsuitable for human consumption and in commonly used similar media prepared on the basis of sprat hydrolysate has shown the test strains grown in media containing aminopeptide and fodder yeast hydrolysate to retain their typical ultrastructure, which confirms the possibility of using these protein bases for the preparation of Endo and Levine media.
