Abstract
Minimal nutritional requirements of B salmonicida were established by determining which constituents of previously developed chemically defined medium actually are required for optimal growth. On the basis of this study, a synthetic medium containing only alanine, arginine, asparagine, glutamic acid, methionine, serine, isoleucine, cystine, adenine and inorganic salts was developed that was capable of supporting excellent growth of this organism. The medium can be used for culture, maintenance, and study of pigment production. The implications of these nutritional findings are discussed.
