title: Transient growth requirement in Bacillus subtilis following the cessation of exponential growth.
abstract: During an investigation of the parameters controlling mutations in Bacillus subtilis we observed that this bacterium exhibits a transient growth requirement for two nonessential amino acids (glutamic acid and isoleucine) during a type of postexponential growth on a minimal medium.
