It was found that the growth of a facultatively anaerobic alkalophile depends on the presence of NH + 4 . The poor growth in the absence of NH + 4 did not seem to be ascribed to a lack of nitrogen sources. The bacterium was suggested to require specifically NH + 4 for the acceleration of transports of amino acids and glucose, which is likely to contribute to the optimum growth.
