Abstract

The growth of isolated maple cellus (A. rubnum and A. saccharum) indicated general categories for the use of carbon sources: lactose, melibiose, mannose, maltose-minimal growth; fructose, galactose-limited growth; trehalose, cellobiose, raffinose, glucose, sucrose-good growth. The results also indicated that tissues grew as well on medium containing filter-sterilized sugars as on medium containing autoclaved sugars.
