Abstract
A species of Synechocystis isolated from a marine mud has an absolute requirement for vitamin B12. Analogues of B12, including cobinamide and α-(adenyl) cobamide cyanide, satisfactorily substitute for vitamin B12. Methionine alone or in combination with other compounds supports only a low level of growth.Keywords
