The organism adapted to the egg system and grew in the yolk and the allantoic fluid. It readily readapted from eges to as serum enriched cell-free culture medium. Helical, filamentous, pleomorphic bodies were constantly observed in allantoic fluids of inoculated eggs under electron microscope. The egg inoculations triggered faster adaptation of the mollicutes in vitro.enArticle
