The method of Palmer and Gerlough (C. A. 3^:7328^) was applied 

 to 2.25 Ova. of the dried fungus, Sp . schenckil . A small quantity 

 (0,03 Gm.) of a compound extractealDy this method gave a posi- 

 tive Molisch reaction and reduced Benedict's solution after 

 hydrolysis. A carbohydrate was obtained by alcohol precipitation 

 of the culture medium (O.IO Gm. in 230 cc. of medium) which was 

 negative for Millon, biuret and xanthoproteic tests, Netther 

 the compound or its carboh^/^drate component were antigenic or 

 toxic; both were precipitable by homologous and heterologous 

 immune rabbit serum and by serum from a patient with sporo- 

 trichosis.

Large scale preparation of the tumor-necrotizing polysaccharide 

 from S. marcescens 



Cancer Res. 7:714, 19^7 (Abstract) 



Culture of S. marcescens in synthetic media may be adapted to 

 large scale operations (up to 350 liters). No differences in 

 potency between preparations so secured and those obtained in 

 small scale can be seen. Active fractions from the organisms 

 themselves may be subjected to purification.

The majority of pyrogenic substances can be eliminated from so- 

 lutions during manufacture by use of triple distilled water, 

 immediate sterilization of water, solutions and glassware. 

 Rigid cleansing of distilling apparatus must be done periodically. 

 Pyrogenic materials retained in moisture films on glassware, 

 in tubing and needles, can be eliminated by washing and sterili- 

 zation. Adsorption filtration of solutions is possible and is 

 an additional safeguard.
