title: [Use of acetamide by Bacillus gordonae. I. Isolation and characterization of mutants able to use this compound as a source of carbon and energy].
abstract: All known strains of Bacillus gordonae can acquire, by spontaneous mutation, the ability to grow at the expense of acetamide as a source of carbon, nitrogen and energy. The isolation and characters of these mutants are described. Their frequency is high (10(-3)-10(-2) per cell).
