Abstract
Two of 23 strains of Helicobacter pylori adapted from microaerobic to aerobic growth on blood agar plates incubated in humidified air. The a ir-adapted strains remained urease and phenylalanine deaminase positiv e and did not require the buffering effect of an enriched CO2 atmosphe re for growth. The significance of this phenomenon remains to be deter mined as the two strains capable of aerobic metabolism were laboratory -adapted.
