✦ Synopsis


Thermobacterium acidophilum R 26 OI~LA J~s~x cannot synthesize desoxyribosides, and has therefore been utilized by HOFF-Jm~G~SnX (1951) for a very sensitive method for determination of DNA. The present authors have developed a chemically defined medium for this organism (L~vTRITe and Roos, 1957), and during this work a closer study of the nutritional requirements was undertaken. The results concerning the vitamins will be presented in the present paper.
