Acetate was required for growth with methanol, lactate, valine, and isoleucine, but not with H(,2)-CO(,2). CO(,2) was required for growth with methanol (and H(,2)) and stimulated growth with CO. The CO(,2) requirement could be replaced by formate during growth with methanol. Lipoate, biotin, and pantothenate were the minimal vitamins required for growth with methanol or H(,2)-CO(,2).
