Abstract

The main function of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) in culture media for Leptospira is protection against the toxic products of the degradation of the long chain fatty acids present in the medium; however, the BSA has a high cost compared to other sources of albumin, such as egg albumin, which is the main protein present in poultry eggs, especially chickens from commercial farms.
