Development of a Defined Medium for Growth of Cercospora rosicola Passerini.
A simple synthetic liquid medium containing a single amino acid, glucose, salts, trace metals, and thiamine was developed for cultivation of Cercospora rosicola Passerini. Thiamine was shown to be important to growth. Culture of C. rosicola Passerini in a chemically defined medium makes possible studies of (+)-abscisic acid biosynthesis and regulation.
