Halobacterium cutirubrum, H. salinarium, and H. halobium required at least 10 p.p.m. ferrous ions for maximal growth in aerated cultures. The growth of H. cutirubrum was stimulated by 0.05 p.p.m. manganous ions but addition of divalent zinc or calcium had no effect on the growth of this organism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
