Nutrition and amino acid composition of a rumen bacterium

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:

1. 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.

2. To apply this hypothesis toward the goal set in the first objective. / Master of Science
