GROWTH OF ESCHERICHIA COLI TM-1 ON NATURAL PHOSPHONIC ACIDS AND THEIR RELATED COMPOUNDS

Abstract
The growth of E. coli Tm-1 on natural 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid compounds and their related compounds is compared. Results showed that E. coli Tm-1 can utilize P of natural 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid compounds, but 1-aminoethylphosphonic acid was scarcely utilized.
