Studies in the biochemistry of micro-organisms

In view of these findings a quantitative survey has now been made of the chlorine metabolism of 139 species or strains of moulds grown on the well-known Czapek-Dox 5 % glucose solution containing 0 5 g. KCI per litre as the sole source of chlorine. The organisms studied included 27 species of Aspergillus, 96 species of Penicillium and species in the following genera: Absidia (1); Alternaria (2); Botrytis (1); Cakdariomyces (3); Cephalosporium (1); Cladosporium (1); Ctasterosporium (1); Helminthosporium (1); Mucor (1); Stemphylium (1); Stysanus (1); Syncephalastrum (1) and Trichoderma (1).
