[Effect on growing conditions on protein content and amino acid composition of acinetobacter calcoaticus]

The protein content and amino acid composition of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus were studied as dependent on the stages of development and different hydrocarbon sources. The protein content was always the greatest at the logarithmic stage and decreased approaching the stationary stage. When cultivating on different hyrocarbon sources only an insignificant differedce in the content of protein was observed. A relative amino acid composition of Ac. calcoaceticus remained practically constant during the growth up to the stationary stage. When using different sources of hydrocarbon no changes were found in the relative composition of amino acids as well as in the total content of protein.
