Abstract
The organism grows satisfactorily on a glucose + mineral salts medium containing asparagine and ammonium sulfate, provided that inositol, pantothenic acid, nicotinic acid, biotin, histidine, methionine and adenine are added. Complex interactions between adenine and guanine were found, so that S. octosporus cannot be regarded as a suitable test organism for the assay of adenine.
