UsAmRIID was mostly interested in Ba toxin production. IvINS
produced more toxin that older cultures. He did not recall if
anyone was investigating Ba spore virulence as affected by
multiple passages of that organism at that time. Ivins did.
notice that Ba samples which were grown using the single spore
technique produced more toxins than those grown using the sweep
technique.

This notebook described the creation of RmR 1030 and noted that
Standard Operating Procedure (sop) "uiB-BI-3" was used to grow
RMR 1030. This material was used for aerosol challenges'of
rabbits, quinea pigs, and possibly NHps.
