Utilization of amino acids by Halobacterium cutirubrum in chemically defined medium

Abstract
As part of a project involving the labeling of the ribosomal proteins of the extreme halophile Halobacterium cutirubrum with 14C-lysine, the chemically defined medium of Gochnauer and Kushner (2) was modified to allow maximal incorporation of 14C-lysine. The utilization of the other amino acids present in this medium was also measured. Of special interest was the rapid and complete disappearance of arginine from the medium before the beginning of log-phase growth.
