title: Factors affecting the growth of Pseudomonas fluorescens in liquid egg white.
abstract: Pseudomonas fluorescens grew rapidly in fresh egg albumen diluted with water. Growth of the bacteria in egg albumen was stimulated by the addition of carbohydrate and ovomucoid-rich egg exudate. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis for residual egg albumen revealed extensive proteolysis of albumen inoculated with the organism. A fluorescent compound with absorption maximum at 408 nm was isolated from a defined salt medium inoculated with P. fluorescens. It shortened the lag phase and increased the final cell yield of the organism when added to the salt medium (100 mug/ml).
