This investigation describes the surveillance of the colonial stability of the pathogenic type 1 from the gonococcal strain F62 to the nonvirulent types 3 and 4 in different liquid media. The maintenance of the colony types was monitored by the parameters of colonial morphology and deoxyribonucleic acid-mediated transformation. During growth in a complex medium, Mueller-Hinton broth, only 46.7% of the gonococcal population remained as type 1 after 12 h. The greatest change in the type 1 colony-forming units correlated with the decline in viable count. The conversion process could not be prevented by the continual maintenance of the gonococcus in logarithmic growth. The frequency of transformation from PRO(minus) (proline) to PRO(plus) was proportional to this decrease in type 1 colony-forming units. In contrast to Mueller-Hinton medium, the chemically defined minimal medium Gonococcal Genetic Medium (GGM) was capable of maintaining approximately 90% of the gonococcal population in the type 1 colonial form after 16 h of growth, despite a decrease in the viable count. Although the percentage of type 1 appeared to remain constant in GGM, the apparent transformation frequency increased approximately 24-fold from 0 to 12 h of growth. GGM appears to stimulate or maintain competence, as evidenced by an eightfold increase in transformation when cells are exposed to deoxyribonucleic acid in GGM as compared to Mueller-Hinton.
