Abstract
Staphylococcus Aureus JT/52, a mutant derived from strain SG 511, was isolated and characterized by Jensen and Thofern (1). It differs from the parent strain in its inability to synthesize heme. Then grown in heme-free media, the mutant, therefore, is unable to form functional hematin compounds. The lack of catalase activity and cytochrome respiration, and the absence of specific absorption bands characteristic of the cytochromes are evidence of this deficiency (1).
