Sodium is an obligate growth requirement for most currently recognized predominant species of rumen bacteria. The isoosmotic deletion of Na(+) from a nutritionally adequate defined medium completely eliminated growth of most species. Growth yields and rates were both a function of Na(+) concentration for Na(+)-requiring species, and Na(+) could not be replaced by Rb(+), Li(+), or Cs(+) when these ions were substituted for Na(+) at a concentration equivalent to an Na(+) concentration that supported abundant growth. Li(+), Cs(+), or Rb(+) was toxic at an Na(+)-replacing concentration (15 mM) but not at a K(+)-replacing concentration (0.65 mM). K(+) was also an obligate growth requirement for rumen bacteria in media containing Na(+) and K(+) as major monovalent cations, but K(+) could be replaced, for most species, by Rb(+). The quantities of Na(+) that support rapid and abundant growth of Na(+)-requiring rumen bacteria show that these organisms are slight halophiles. A growth requirement for Na(+) appears more frequent among nonmarine bacteria than has been previously believed.
钠是目前大多数已确认的瘤胃细菌优势种生长所必需的。从营养充足的限定培养基中同渗地去除Na⁺,会完全抑制大多数菌种的生长。对于需要Na⁺的菌种,生长产量和速率均是Na⁺浓度的函数,当用Rb⁺、Li⁺或Cs⁺以等同于支持旺盛生长的Na⁺浓度替代Na⁺时,Na⁺无法被这些离子取代。在替代Na⁺的浓度(15 mM)下,Li⁺、Cs⁺或Rb⁺具有毒性,但在替代K⁺的浓度(0.65 mM)下则无毒。在以Na⁺和K⁺作为主要单价阳离子的培养基中,K⁺也是瘤胃细菌生长所必需的,但对于大多数菌种而言,K⁺可被Rb⁺取代。支持需要Na⁺的瘤胃细菌快速且旺盛生长的Na⁺量表明,这些微生物是轻度嗜盐菌。对Na⁺的生长需求在非海洋细菌中似乎比之前认为的更为常见。
