Escherichia coli B has been grown in a liquid medium containing, besides inorganic salts, glucose and ammonium chloride as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen. The micro-organisms do not grow if maltose is substituted for glucose. Similarly, washed suspensions of Esch. coli which oxidize glucose vig...
