  • Title: [Optimization of a synthetic nutrient medium for culturing Bacillus thuringiensis].
    Author: Kuznetsov LE, Khovrychev MP.
    Journal: Mikrobiologiia; 1984; 53(1):54-7. PubMed ID: 6708844.
    Abstract:
    The requirement of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. galleriae 69/6 for amino acids and vitamins was studied. The composition of a synthetic nutrient medium was optimized. Alanine and nicotinic acid were found to be necessary for growth while other amino acids (aspartic and glutamic acids, histidine, threonine) were not indispensable although they increased the population density (yield). A deficiency as well as an excess of individual amino acids (threonine and glutamic acid) inhibited growth and decreased the yield of biomass. Elevated concentrations of aspartic and glutamic acids inhibited the formation of spores and crystals. As was demonstrated using the method of mathematical planning of an experiment, the synthetic medium contained optimal concentrations of nicotinic and amino acids and was suitable for the growth of B. thuringiensis strains as well as for the formation of spores and crystals by them.
