I'm using 1X 3b-Hydroxy-5-cholestene 5-Cholesten-3b-ol from Himedia for the culture of Helicobacter pylori ATCC49503 strain in Brucella broth, but unable to find any growth even after eight days. People have earlier successfully used 1X cholesterol from Gibco for such type of culture. Both products are cell culture grade. I'm wondering are they two different types of cholesterol and do bacteria prefer a specific form of cholesterol for their growth.
