    Abstract:
    The behaviour of 12 strains of gram-negative bacteria was analysed in media having a low content of nutrients. Sterile tap water, de-ionized water, aqua bidestillata and mineral salt solution were used. It was found that Serratia marcescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter, Klebsiella and Citrobacter are those with the most frequently observed growth. In the mineral salt solution survived also Providencia, E. coli, Erwinia, Hafnia, and Alkaligenes and reached max. colony numbers of some 100000/ml. When the salts used were added stepwise potassium phosphate and especially magnesium sulfate showed a growth-promoting effect.
