Abstract excerpt
Microbiological methods have been used to determine the amino acid availability of a variety of animal feed and human food protein sources. Growth of Escherichia coli auxotrophs have been shown to yield a consistent linear response to lysine concentration when compared to chemical measures. Extent of total growth of E. coli lysine mutant (American Type Culture Collection #23812) when measured as optical density...
