N2  - The bacteria have at length acquired a position in the domain of research which takes them beyond the elementary stage of systematic classification. It is no longer fashionable or profitable merely to arrange the different micro-organisms in an orderly scheme whereby they can be identified; nor does the young science of bacteriology content itself solely with the search for microbial agents of disease or the mere descriptions of varied bacterial floras. Biologic chemistry has made an inroad into the field, bringing along the modern conceptions that have enhanced the study of the functions of living organisms. Hence one reads today of studies in bacterial metabolism.It has already been pointed out in The Journal1 that a great advantage would be gained if the nutrient needs and the metabolic functions of bacteria were better known. Given the possibility of regulating the composition of culture mediums in accord with the precise
