Discussion 53 Conclusion 55 Bibliography 57 Introduction The experiments hereinafter described were undertaken with the view of learning certain facts concerning the availability of various types of mediums for the produCtion of bacteriophage. The phenomenon of bacteriOphagy was first described by d'Herelle (8) in 1917. His investigae tions on the subject continued over a period of years and brought him to the conclusion that the bacterioPhage was a living principle, particulate in nature. This autonomous virus theory is sup- ported by much evidence but today has few adher- ents. A considerable number of hypotheses on the nature of bacteriOphage have been advanced from various sources. Kabeshima (11) suggests that a catalytic agent, arising in the tissues of an infected animal, acti- vates a proferment contained within the bacterial bodies; the activated ferment lyses the bacterium from which it arises, is then liberated and passed on to other bacteria to liberate the proferment which 'they contain. Bordet and Ciuca (3) believe that a nutritional disorder of bacteria brings about autolysis and the liberation of an agent capable of transmitting the af- fectiOn to other bacteria. Bail (2) says that the bacteriophagous agent, (splitter) arises from the bacteria themselves. Hadley (7) suggests that phage is a filterable state in the cyclogeny of organisms. These theories vary widely one from the other and so far none seems to be backed by conclusive proof. The net result of these conflicting findings, inter- pretations, and views is that knowledge of the nature of bacteriophagy is in a somewhat confused state. It is not possible at the present time to make a final decision concerning the nature and source of the bact- eriOphagous agent. In spite of these uncertainties, a great deal of pragress has been made in the application of bacterio- phage to various bacteriological and clinical problems, among which its use in the field of clinical medicine has received marked attention and has resulted in a literature of literally thousands of articles from which one can only conclude that the possibilities of its use in the field of clinical medicine are limit- less. With the development of bacteriOphage for clin- ical use there has arisen a.necessity for a clear under- standing of the mechanism of its action both in the body and in the test tube in order that the principle may be suitably administered and that it may be pre— pared in its most potent and readily available form. Neither problem has been solved, but it has been recog- nized for a long time that the medium exercises a pro- found influence upon the deve10pment of a bacterio- phage. An analysis has shown that of the various con- stituents of the medium, peptones are probably the most significant. This is of interest not only be- cause of the influence of peptone upon the production of the principle, but also because when bacteriophage is applied through inoculations as a therapeutic agent, the presence of peptone is undesirable in general. Hence, various investigators have attempted to pro- duce bacteriophage in the absence of peptone, es- pecially when.the product was to be administered intra- veneously. It has been observed by Larkum and others (personal communication), that a bacteriophage of weak potency only resulted from the use of mediums poor in peptone, and most workers in this field have failed to achieve the results reported by MacNeal(loc.oit.) and Applebaum through the use of a snythetic medium containing no peptone. Although the general observation had been made that peptones influence the development of bacterio- phage probably because of their influence on the rate of growth of bacteria which has a direct relation to the development of bacteriOphage, no attempts have been made to quantitatively determine Just what con» centration of peptone represents the optimum in a given medium. It was in order to shed some light on this question that the first group of experiments to be reported in this paper was undertaken. A.chance observation on the development of a growth stimulating substance for bacteria by Hughes (9) suggested the possibility that the objectionable peptone might be avoided through the incorporation in a synthetic medium of this growth stimulating sub- stance which would have the further advantage of re- ducing the total nitrogen content of the medium with- out inhibiting the effective growth of bacteria. These experiments constitute the second portion of this study. PART I. Work with Various Peptones Section A. The Effect of'Peptone on the Rate and Degree of Lysil. General Procedure: The general procedure for the following experi- ments consisted in the preparation of mediums contain- ing variable concentrations of the selected peptones and making a study of the rate of lysis of Staphylo- coccus aureus after the seeding of the staphylococcus cultures with a constant amount of staphylococcus bacteriophage. In all cases the medium was aerated to expedite growth and bacterial dissolution. The rate of lysis was determined by a comparison of the turbidity of these broth cultures at stated intervals with a set of turbidity standards containing known numbers of bacteria. In this manner it was possible to get a fairly accurate measure of both the rate of growth and the rate of lysis of the organisms. The medium.used was a beef extract broth with the followb ing formula in which, obviously, the concentration of peptone varied: Dist. water 1000 g. Beef extract (Bacto) 3 g. Peptone NaCl 5 g. -6.- The standard turbidity suspensions were prepared for each experiment by adding graduated amounts of culture su3pension to broth mediums containing peptone in the amount used in the experiments and formalin suf- ficient to prevent multiplication of the bacteria. The approximate number of bacteria added to each tube was determined by previous centrifugation of a.portion of the suspension in a calibrated centrifuge tube. The details of this method are described by Kreuger. (13) After incubation of the flasks for 24 hours at room temperature, their contents was passed through 3 cm. Seitz filters and the filtrates titrated in order to determine the quantity of the phage produced in these various concentrations of peptone. Titrations were performed according to the method first described by Applemans (l) which consists of serial dilutions of bacteriophage prepared by the addition of .lcc of filtrate to 9.9 cc of broth and the transference of .lcc of this mixture to a second tube containing 9.9 cc of broth. This causes an initial dilution of 10"3 of bacteriophage and increasing dilutions of 10-4, lO'eetc. Culture suspension is added to each tube and the degree of lysis read after 24 and 48 hours incubation at room temperature. Experiment 1. Three peptones were used in the first experiment two of which were products of the Difco Laboratories, Bacto-Peptone and Bacto Proteose Peptone, the other was the well known Witte's Peptone. Published analyses (6) (14) of these peptones reveals the fact that they are distinguished by the variation in non-protein nitrogen with lesser variation in other nitrogen com» pounds. The total nitrogen does not vary so markedly. Bacto-Peptone: Total N - about 14.0% Non-protein.fl " 13.0% Polypeptid n I .8% 8.2% Van Slyke Amino N " almost negligible Free Ammonia Proteose-Peptone: Total n 12.5% Non-protein N 6.9% Protein N. 5. % Polypeptid N 2.3% Van Slyke Amino N. 4.8% Free Ammonia ‘Witte's Peptone: almost negligible Total n 15.0% Honpprotein N 6.0% PrOtein Ne 8e0% Polypeptid H. 2.5 Van Slyke Amino N. 8.0% Free Ammonia almost negligible Turbidity standards were prepared for each con- centration of peptone to be used, containing the fol- lowing approximate numbers of bacteria per cc: 1.

The flasks were aerated by suction in order to keep the liquid agitated. At irregular intervals about 2cc of the content of each flask was removed and the turbidity determined by comparison with the standards. In Table I is found an analysis of the results of experiment 1. In Table II is found a graphic representation of the results of this first experiment.

Abeeisse - Pro 11 Table I reveals the fact that lysis was first eb- servable after five hours in the flasks containing the Bacto peptone in the lowest concentrations. The Witte's peptone was distinctly inhibitory to the early appearance of lysis. The completion of lysis also occurred more rapidly when the Bacto peptone was used.) If these were the only factors to be considered, one would conclude from this single experiment that low percentages of Bacto peptone were most suitable for the production of bacterio- phage. It should, however, be born in mind that there exists a relationship between the quantity of bacterio- phage produced and the rate and degree of growth of bacteria, and for the clinical use of bacteriophage it is necessary that maximum bacterial growth occur before lysis sets in. Referring to Table II it will be seen that Proteose peptone in 2.0 and 3.5% concentrations gave the greatest bacterial growth, but this was not accompanied by complete lysis within 7 hours. Refer- ring again to Table I it is obvious that slighly less bacteriophage was produced in these concentrations of proteose peptone. It would appear then that further experiments were necessary in order to arrive at any conclusions regarding the effects of these peptore s. 12 Experiment 2: This experiment is essentially a repetition of experiment 1 with the exceptions that Parke Davis peptone with a total nitrogen content of about 14.% was substituted for the Witte's peptone and the concentrations of peptones changed to .1%, 1.0%, 5.0% and 10.0%. Turbidity standards were prepared for each con- centration as before. The results are tabulated in Tables III and IT, and are comparable to Tables I and II with respect to the information given.

Completion of lysis was also first manifest in the 1.0% Bacto peptone broth. 'Maximum growth again was present with the Proteose peptone although the differences were slight in all cases. The amount of bacteriophage pro- duced was comparable throughout the series. Experiment 3. In experiment 3 the same peptones were used and an attempt made to narrow the range of percentages, and also to determine the effects of complete absence of peptone.

Titrations again reveal that there is relatively little difference in the amount cf bacteriophage produced under these condi- tions. In this instance the Parke Davis peptone gave a slightly greater concentration of bacteriophage. Experiment 4. Experiment 4 is in the nature of a check on previous experiments. The procedure was identical. The results are shown in Tables VII and VIII. In Table VII we again find that the first appearance of lysis occurs in the flasks containing the least amounts of peptone. In the complete absence of peptone eight hours were required for complete lysis as compared to seven hours with the 1.0 and 2.0% peptone broths. The titrations show relatively little difference in the quantity of bacteriophage produced.

LV;::::. 21 Summarizing the results obtained in the preced- ing four experiments, it is obvious that there is con- siderable variation even when a single experiment is repeated. Thus in the absence of peptone we found in experiment 3 that complete lysis occurred in five and a quarter hours,whereas in experiment 4 under simil- ar conditions eight hours were required. Nevertheless, within rather wide limits the results with the differ- ent peptones in any one experiment are roughly compar- able. There is no question but that high concentra- tions of peptone retard the progress of lysis under the influence of bacteriOphage. This apparently is a re- sult of a slower growth of bacteria, maximum concen- trations of bacteria in all cases reaching an ppparent critical point numerically before lysis occurred. Our experiments shed no light on the quality of phage pro- duced through the use of different peptones. The quan- tity was fairly uniform regardless of the type or con- centration of peptone used. It would appear then that one is Justified in using any peptone available in the preparation of bacteriophage, and if,as in the case when the product is to be used for clinical purposes,peptone is undesirable, it may be omitted altogether. 22 But the problem of preparation of bacteriophage involves more than the quantity produced. In order to carry on successfully the propagation of this principle the quality must be taken into considera- tion, and the particular quality enabling the principle to maintain its virulence throughout a number of ser- ial passages is highly important. If peptones exert no marked influence on the quantity of bacteriophage produced, it remains to be determined to what extent they influence the quality of the product. In Section B are found experiments bearing upon this question. 23 Section B. Effect of'Peptone on Serial Transmission of Bacteriophage. General Procedure: The experiments reported here followed a mat- erially different method than the preceding. Tubes were prepared containing 10 cc of medium. In one set was beef extract broth containing no peptone, and in the others Bacto, Proteose, and Parke Davis peptones in concentrations ranging from .1% to 10%. (Specific concentrations are listed on record of each experi- ment.) To each of these were added 2 drops of culture suspension obtained by washing one beef extract agar slant bearing a 24 hour growth of organisms desired, with 10 cc of saline; also .5cc of phage. After 48 hours the lysates were filtered through 50m.Seitz filters and .5cc of the filtrate added to a new tube containing the same peptone concentration, and the series continued. These dilutions were carried through as many contacts as results dictated. The incubation was at room temperature. In all cases the degree of lysis was checked by comparison with controls contain- ing the same amount of culture suspension, but contain- ing no bacteriophage. A record of the results of individual experiments appears on the following pages. 24 Experiment 1 e In experiment 1, Staphylococcus aureus, culture # 1771 which was shown to be susceptible to the Staphylococcus phage was employed. Broth was used containing Bacto, Proteose, and Parke Davis peptone in concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0%. The results are found in Table II. After the seventh contact had occurred, a portion of the filtrate was titrated in order to determine the quantity of bacteriOphage produced. Even a cursory examination of this table indi- cates that the quality of the bacteriophage was a1- tered in the low concentrations of peptone to such an extent that it failed to propagate itself success- fully after a few contacts. Differences resulting from the brand of peptone used were insignificant. 25 ++++ ++ ++++ +++ ++++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .Q.m +++ ++ ++++ +++ ++++ e+++ ++++ ++++ .m 00 ++++ ++++ .m “8.3 ++++ ++++ ++++ ++ +++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .R.m ++++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .m ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .m cosuapsoomac I o * o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .n.m .m .m $04 .nn flea i'l‘l +++ ++++ +++ ++++ ++++ .n.m ++++ ++++ .m ++++ ++++ .m a as. ++++ ++++ ++++ osopmom on .mnn we .mnn ¢m pompnoo .mhn w¢ .mhn ¢N pompsoo 6.3 we owns #N pompqoo .mnn m¢ can: dm soupsoo .mhn mfi .nhn @N powpsoo .mnn ad .mhn #m. pompsoo a mfi omhn #N pospsoo 2:: % .gohnu .smmpm 26 ++++ ++++ o ++++ ++++ o ++++ ++++ o e + o ++++ ++++ o ++++ +++ o ++++ e o e+++ e c on.“ Oh om s93 NH: ++++ 0H! ++ ++++ ++ ++ mIOH ++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++. o o o ++++ ++++ ++++ o o o ++++ ++++ ++++ o o 0 ++ + e o o o ++++ ++++ ++++ o o o ++++ ++ ++ o o o ++++ ++++ ++++ O o o ++++ +++ ++++ o o o On.“ 0" 0m On."

In order to provide a basis for a little more generalization, an entirely different bacteriophage (Colon'bacillus) and its sus- ceptible organism were employed in a procedure the same as with Experiment 1. Table I shows that the results here are likewise clear cut in that they indicate that the low percentages of peptone are less satisfactory for the serial transmission of bacteriophage. No further dis- cussion of these results is indicated at this time o 28 +++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ §+++ ++++ + ++++ ++¢+ ++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ ++++ +++ ++ +++ ee+ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .n.m .m .m mo.oa ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .n.m +++ +++ + +++ ++ +++ ++ ++ ++++ .m ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .m e+++ ++ +++ ++++ ++ +++ ++++ ++ .++++ +++ + +++ ++++ ++ ++++ ++++ ++ ++++ ++++ ++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ +++ +++ +++ ++ +++ ++ ++ +++ ++ + +++ ++ + ++++ ++++ +++ ++++ .R.m .m .m mo.a .H 0.3.0.9 ++++ ++ ++++ ++++ ++ ++++ onom ++++ ++ ++++ .m +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ ++++ .m ea. eon $ .«Hos .m ++ ++ +++ +++ +++ +++ ++++ ++++ 9+4 ++++ ++++ onopaom on .mnn m¢ .mhfi dm penance .mnn mfi .mnn em pompnoo .mnn mfi .mnn dm penance own: mfi .una mm pecunoo .mnn we own: dm pompsoo .mhn mfl .mnn dN weepsoo .mne we .und wm pompnoo 29 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ ++++ ++++ +++ ++++ ++§§ ++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .n m .m .m $0.0” o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++. ++++ ++++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++ ++++ ++++ ++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .n.m .m .m ao.n cessapsooman no * ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ ++++ ++++ ++++ .n.m o ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++ ++++ ++ +++ .m ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ O+§+ .m ma.a counwpnoo u H candaq ++ +++ O... .+++ .n.m +++ ++ +++ ++ ++ +++ ++++ ++++ +++ +++ +++ +++ ++++ e+++ .m ++ ++ .m as. ++++ ++++ onopmom ea .mg: as .una «m aespsoo .ans we .mhn «N #oepqoo .una we .mun d“ newsman .mnn m¢ .maa dm pospsoo own: 06 .mnn.#m pospnoo .mnn mfi .mne em veepsoo .mnn me .mne em ¢H 9H NH AH OH m penance o 30 0H: s +++ + +++ I +++ +e +++ + ++++ ++ 0H m-0H penance m song moaunpaam Ho sofipmnpua +++ +++ +++ +++ 9+... ++++ ++ ++++ +++ ...... +++ oloa ¢nl ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++e ++++ 9+ ++ ++++ ++ +++ ++++ +++ oa dosagesoo I M canes +++e ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++ ++++ ++ ++++ ++++ ++++ NIOH so. oaufipun.sm .oaomooponm H opemm 359.3 omooponm .o n n n 090mm H H H as as. m Vanda omoovonm ovemm ma>s9.am omooponm oposm Efifit ifit??? Sfi a O onopnom on 51 PART II. Work with Synthetic medium Section A. Rate and Degree of Lysis in synthetic medium. In as much as high concentrations of peptone seemed desirable fer the propagation of bacterio- phage, and since they are undesirable in a product to be used for clinical application, it would be of material assistance to find some substitute for the peptone which might enable one to carry on the prop- agation of phage in mediums of low nitrogen content. A recent publication by Hughes (9) concerning a growth stimulating substance found in meat extract suggested a solution to the problem. It was con- sidered that the addition of this growth stimulat- ing substance to a synthetic medium might provide the elements necessary for the development of an active bacteriophage capable of successful prOpaga- tion. Several investigators have reported the use of synthetic mediums for the preparation of'bacterio- phage for therapeutic use. Caldwell (5) found that a medium described by Ayers gave satisfactory results with the Colon bacillus, but that USchinsky's medium 52 was not satisfactory. macNeal prepared a synthetic medium which he found suitable. In view of these results it seemed advisable to select one which gave the best growth of the organ- ism to be used in the following'experiments. Accord- ingly, four mediums, Uschinsky's glycerol ammonium ' lactate solution, Uschinsky's asparagin salt solu- tion, Jordan's snythetic medium, MacNeal's medium, (10) (15), and after inoculation with Staphylococcus and with Colon bacillus, Uschinsky's Asparagin Salt solution was selected. This medium has the follow; ing formula: Dist. water 1000 cc Asparagin 3.4 g NaCl 5.0 g CaClg .1 g g§P&1.0 g 044 Trace The growth stimulating substance was contained in the acetone soluble portion of beef extract, which was added to the synthetic medium. Kjehldal nitrOgen determination showed: Uschinsky's asparagin salt solution plus activator contains........84.50 mgs. N per 100 cc. Beef extract broth (used as control).....218. 16 mgs. N per 100 cc. 53 Section A. Rate and Degree of’Lysis in Synthetic Medium containing growth stimulating substance. Experiment 1. The experimental methods employed were identi- cal with those described under Section A of'Part I; that is, noting the progress of'lysis in mechanical- ly agitated media, upon introduction of phage and susceptible culture. Culture: Staph. aureus # 1963 Phage: #017873A Staphylococcus Mediums: Beef Extract broth Uschinsky's asparagin Salt sol. plus growth stimulating substance. Turbidity standards were prepared as usual.

However, the quantity of bacteriOphage produced was esentially the same as is shown by the titration results. Experiment 2. Experiment two is a repetition of experiment 1 with the exception of the fact that two dif- ferent cultures of Staphylococcus were applied. Results are shown in Tables XIII and XIV. It is quite obvious in this case that the beef extract broth permitted more rapid lysis and that little difference resulted in respect. to the organism employed. The titrations were essentially identical. 57 Table XIII.

J --.- —- - - DEFJ‘RTM EN 7835- MATH EMATICS 42 The results of this group of experiments indicate quite clearly that so far as the quantity of phage produced in synthetic mediums to which the growth stimulating substances had been added is concerned, they are preferable for the preparation or this principle since their total nitrogen content is far below that of the ordinary extract broth with or without peptone. It remains to be determined, however, Whether such mediums can be used successfully in the propagation of bacteriOphage. This problem is investigated in Section B. Section B. Transmission or Bacteriophage in Synthetic Medium. The procedure employed in these experi- ments was similar to that used in Section B of Part I; that is, .5 cc of phage was added to a bacterial suspension to bring about lysis, the lysed bacterial suspension was passed through a ‘Mandler filter and .5cc or this filtrate was added to a second bacterial suspension. After lysis had occurred the procedure was repeated and the series continued in this manner. Beef extract broth and the synthetic medium broth with and without the growth stimulating substance were used. Staph. aureus, and Colon bacillus were the cultures employed. There appears to be no occasion for consid- ering these experiments separately since the pro- oedures were essentially identical and the re- sults are tabulated in Tables XVII to XIV in- olusively. It is apparent from all of them that the serial passage of bacteriophage in the synthe- tic medium continued uninterrupted through vary- ing numbers of contacts, and that the absence of of the growth stimulating substance resulted in the disappearance of the bacteriophage in all but one instance.

Nor was there any marked advantage in one peptone over another with the possible exception of Witte's which; capecially in the higher concentrations, gave a low yield. It would appear, then, that in the preparation of bacteriOphage for clinical use, little or no peptone need be used. In the presence of low concentrations of peptone, however, bacteriOphage is apparently not success- fully propagated. There is, however, a very important consideration that intervenes here which considerably modifies any conclusions that may be drawn at the present time. Prop- agation of bacteriOphage involves the serial transmission of the principle from culture to culture with intervening filtration. The filters customarily employed are made of infusorial earth, asbestos or collodion. Those most comp monly used are the Berkfeld, Mandler, Chamberland, and Seitz. This introduces a conflicting factor in the trans- mission of the principle for any loss of potency is as 54 conceivably occasioned by absorption to the filter as by the action of any constituent of the medium. Thus, although Larkum.and Semmes (12) reported that Seitz filters exerted no appreciable effect on the bacter- iophage, the mediums they employed were constant in composition. In the work here reported, the Seitz filter proved unsuited for serial transmission of bacteriOphage when low concentrations of peptone were employed, but no difficulty was encountered when the higher concentrations were used. Although no further attempt was made to investigate this phase of the problem, it appears entirely warranted to to assume that the loss of potency of bacteriOphage on serial transmission was occasioned not so mmch by the effect of the peptone upon the principle itself as by the ef- fect of peptone on the filtration of the product. Al- though this phase of the problem formed no part of'the experiments planned, the observation could not be neg- lected and is, therefore, presented here. From the standpoint of practical use of the obserb vation made, it might be said that in as much as we are at present limited to certain types of filters in the 55 preparation of bacteriophage, care should be taken to provide conditions enabling these filters to per- form effectively; that is, to allow the passage of bacteriophage. This is apparently assured in the presence of moderately high concentrations of peptone. In as much, however, as high concentrations of peptone are undesirable in the material to be adapted to clinical use, it is obvious that large lots of bacter- iophage for therapeutic purposes must be made in a medium containing little or no peptone, aid that serial passages of bacteriophage to provide the 'start- er' for each new lot of clinical material must be pre- pared and carried along in.mediums containing higher concentrations of peptone (5%-lo%). Conclusions The results of the comparative study of four brands of commercial peptone added to beef extract broth indicate that these peptones in concentrations up to 10% exert no marked effect on the quantity of bacteriOphage produced. High concentrations of peptones, however, retard the pregress of lysis. The propagation of bacteriophage through serial transfers is materially affected by the presence of high concentrations of peptone. A more active phage 56 results when higher concentrations of peptone are incorporated in the medium. Synthetic medium containing growth stimulating substance is a suitable medium for the production of bacteriOphage giving a product equal in amount and potency to that produced in beef extract broth with 1.0% peptone. The use of synthetic medium without the growth stimulating substance is not satisfactory for the production of bacteriophage. 1. 2. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 57 BibliOgraphy Appelmans, R.
