Abstract
S. violacea was grown on a mineral salts solution with fatty acids as sole carbon source. C18, C16, C7, C6, and C5 fatty acids provided excellent growth response; C2, C3, C4, C14, and C17 acids gave positive but lesser growth. The C8-C13 acids proved unsatisfactory substrates for the mold.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
