ACID-FAST BACTERIUM PROLIFERATION PROMOTER, CULTURING METHOD FOR CULTURING ACID-FAST BACTERIUM BY ADDING SAME, AND ACID-FAST BACTERIUM CULTURE MEDIUM CONTAINING SAME

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: an acid-fast bacterium proliferation promoter capable of rapidly and markedly promoting the proliferation of an acid-fast bacterium; an acid-fast bacterium culturing method capable of rapidly growing an acid-fast bacterium in large quantities; and an acid-fast bacterium culture medium capable of rapidly and markedly promoting the proliferation of an acid-fast bacterium. The present invention provides: an acid-fast bacterium proliferation promoter containing bovine RegIIIγ lectin as an active ingredient; an acid-fast bacterium culturing method characterized in that the bacterium is cultured by adding said proliferation promoter to the medium; and an acid-fast bacterium culture medium containing said proliferation promoter.
