- Comments:
- 1.Demonstration of the Spe- phenotype requires care. Polyamines may be present even in purified agar, on glassware not acid-washed, on some plasticware and in rust-inhibitors in autoclave steam.(pers.comm.,H.Tabor).
- 2.The strain does require spermidine for optimum growth, but it may be apparent only with growth curves performed in liquid media, using spermidine-starved cells as an inoculum (pers.comm.,B.Weiss),using precautions to avoid contaminating polyamines.
