Abstract
Primary Objective:
To find a medium, defined as clearly as possible in terms of its nitrogenous components, which will support growth of a cellulolytic rumen bacterium.
Secondary Objectives:
-
To test an hypothesis that the optimum nitrogenous nutrient balance for a strongly heterotrophic organism is that mixture of the basic structural molecules ( amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines ) which most closely approximates the composition of the organism itself.
-
To apply this hypothesis toward the goal set in the first objective.
