The fundamental problem in the nutrition of any organism (animal, plant or microbe), according to Porter (1946), is the construction of a medium, or diet, of known composition which will permit optimum growth and reproduction. With bacteria this problem has led to the development of chemically defined or synthetic media, that is, media composed of known purified chemicals. The advantages of protein free synthetic media for biochemical study were appreciated early in the history of bacteriology.
