Abstract
Media for supporting the growth of certain types of microorganisims, especially Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis, are described. These media, when supplemented with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), albumin and penicillin induce microorganism transformation to the wall-defective or "L-form." The PVP is necessarily "detoxified" for use in the L-form inducing media.
