The cells were of the L strain of mouse fibroblast, grown in a monocellular layer on a glass surface. The basal medium contained 19 aminoacids, the known vitamins, inorganic salts, choline, glucose, glutamine, glutathione and inositol and was supplemented with 0.25 to 2 per cent. of dialysed horse serum. In this medium cultures could be maintained for as much as 8 weeks without change in growth rate or appearance of the cells.By omitting them from the medium in turn it was shown that arginine, cystine, histidine,isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine and valine were essential for survival and growth. Alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, hydroxyproline, proline and serine were not essential; it is unlikely that the small amount of serum protein in the medium was supplying them. The cytological effects of deficiency of any one essential aminoacid were reversible for 2 to 6 days. The concentrations of essential amino-acids needed for maximum growth varied from 0.005 µmole tryptophan per ml. to 0.1 or 0.2 µmoleisoleucineper ml., and below these concentrations the rate of growth fell sharply. None of the 12 essential L-aminoacids could be replaced by the D-isomer, but the D-isomers did not actively inhibit growth.Although the cultures required 12 amino-acids, arginine, cystine and tyrosine are not essential for the mouse.-D.
