PMCID: PMC251516  PMID: 4563966

Abstract

One hundred five strains of Acinetobacter were isolated from water, soil, and sewage on nonselective complex media, and their nutritional properties were studied. Only one of these strains requires growth factors in order to grow in a mineral medium containing a single carbon source.
