Bacteria from Bacillus genus, contaminating the process of lysin production, have been quantitatively estimated for their capacity to assimilate aminoacids from the maize-molasses medium. Ten of 11 studied strains have completely utilized simultaneously 7-12 aminoacids, including lysine, of 14 aminoacids registered in the medium. All the strains under deep cultivation assimilated 100% of serin for 24 hours, the amount of which in the medium composed 3.6 mg/ml. Ten strains have utilized all the threonine, glycine, alanine and valine. Most strains only partially assimilated phenylalanine and histidine. A number of strains, thyrosine and phenylalanine in particular, accumulated some aminoacids in the process of growth.
