Reaction Steps

Comparing to the growth of the strain A34030 on a D-glucose-supplemented medium as a positive control, addition of L-arabinose, D-fructose, sucrose, D-xylose and D-mannitol gave a similar growth of the strain A34030, respectively. On the other hand, addition of myo-inositol gave lesser growth of the strain, and on rhamnose-supplemented medium, the growth was not observed. Addition of raffinose gave better growth of the strain A34030 than that of D-glucose.
