Abstract
VIBRIOCIN, a bacteriocin isolated from V. comma1, has been obtained only in small quantities and in special growth conditions. Other attempts to detect vibriocin have failed2,3. Wahba4, however, confirmed our findings with a number of V. cholerae and V. El-Tor strains by using techniques developed by us and stated that “the success in detecting the production of vibriocin … may be due to the fact that a cold shock was applied to the vibriocin producing strains (Farkas-Himsley and Seyfried, 1962) …”
