M Emmett et al. Can J Microbiol. 1975 May.

Abstract

Amino acid requirements and auxotrophic reversion properties were determined for 823 Staphylococcus strains isolated from natural populations on human skin. Ten species of Staphylococcus exhibited distinct amino acid requirement patterns. Proline, arginine, and valine were the most frequently required amino acids for the genus Staphylococcus.
