New growth medium based on inedible substrate - meat processing waste products of slaughterhouses - was developed. New medium was characterized by physical, chemical, and biological properties using exacting and non-exacting microorganisms, as well as by periodical cultivation of Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain and obtaining the preparation of its antigens. The experimental medium provided the growth of chosen test-strains with typical properties. From biomass obtained during the periodic cultivation of model toxigenic strain of C.diphtheriae on liquid experimental growth medium, preparation with antigenic properties was extracted. It has been shown that biologic characteristics of experimental growth medium did not differ from those of meat-peptone medium that allows to use it for cultivation of bacteria from various taxonomic groups.
