Rates in vitro changes of gonococcal colony opacity phenotypes
1982
Infection and Immunity
The rate of change of colony opacity phenotype was determined for 12 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The average rate of change was about 2 x 10-3 per colony-forming unit per generation with a range of 0.2 x 10-3 to 4 x 10-3 per colony-forming unit per generation. Transition from opaque to transparent occurred at the same rate as transition from transparent to opaque. The following factors were shown to have no effect on the transition rate: (i) the state of piliation; (ii) the number of
