The effect of three complex media (KM) [Mueller-Hinton broth (MHB), brain heart infusion (MSI)and proteose peptone (PP)] and one mineral medium (MM) on surface and enzyme activities of fivestrains Klebsiella species was studied. Klebsiella oxytoca and Klebsiella ornithinolytica had a markedhydrophobic character after growth in MHB, MSI and MM, Klebsiella terrigena only in PP. K.oxytoca and K. ornithinolytica had a higher motility after cultivation in KM compared with MM, themotility of K. terrigena was not affected. The lipolytic activity of all tested strains was highest aftergrowth in MSI and PP. The composition of culture medium affected bacterial parameters tested toa different extent depending on the species.
Key words: Klebsiella – culture medium – surface and enzyme activity.
