✦ Synopsis
Requirement of copper for growth of the obligate methanol-utilizing bacterium, strain 4025 was investigated. Strong demand for copper compounds was determined in the surface growth on methanol and methylamine. A pronounced requirement for copper and iron was evident during submerged growth of the strain on methanol; both elements affected growth and methanoi utilization of the cultures. The optimal concentration of several copper compounds was 1.2tmnoles per liter. The copper effect was more pronounced with ammonium than with nitrate as the nitrogen source.
