Abstract: | NG, a strain of cultured tobacco cells of Nicotiana glutinosahad high growth rates and carboxylate contents (CA) of100 to 130 meq/100 g of dry cells on media containing 42 meqNO3/liter as the sole N source. (CA) is the amount ofinorganic cations minus inorganic anions in meq per 100 g ofdry cells. NG, cultured on media containing NH4 10+NO3 42 in meq/liter,had lower growth rates and lower (CA) values as comparedwith NG on media containing NO3 as the sole N source. NG, cultured on media containing NH4 30+NO3 42 in meq/liter,had high growth rates and (AC) values of 22 to 53 meq/100gof dry cells. In this case, the (AC) content may correspondto organic cations, basic organic N compounds such as free asprotein-bound basic amino acids. The easily absorbed Cl mayhave been required maintain good growth conditions such as ionicbalance and a favorable pH in the cells. Thus cultured cells of Nicotiana glutinosa may have physiologicaladaptability against variations in a relatively wide range of|CA| contents [|CA| being the absolute valuesof (CA)].
