A potassium requirement for growth can be readily demonstrated in the autotrophic blue-green bacterium Anacystis nidulans strain TX20 equivalent to 0.7% of the cellular dry weight. Starvation of this organism for potassium partially dissociates growth from cell division, thereby inducing 50% of the population to form filaments.
自养蓝细菌集胞藻6803株TX20中,对生长所需的钾含量可轻松证明,其相当于细胞干重的0.7%。该生物体缺钾时,生长与细胞分裂会部分分离,从而诱导50%的群体形成丝状。
