1. Of or pertaining to a prototroph or to prototrophy.

   “The first two, fast-growing species, were found to be more prototrophic than the last two, slowly growing species.”

   “Intrastrain fusions resulted in fully prototrophic progeny that were very similar in appearance and growth rate to the original prototrophic parental strain (Stasz et al., 1988a, 1989).”

   “2021, Amaia Zúñiga-Ripa, et al., The fast-growing Brucella suis Biovar 5..., Axel Cloeckaert, Michel Stanislas Zygmunt, Nieves Vizcaino, Adrian Whatmore, Holger C. Scholz (editors), Pathogenomics of the Genus Brucella and Beyond, Frontiers Media (Frontiers Open Access E-books), page 177, These differences suggested that B. suis 513 is more prototrophic than B. abortus 2308W (see section “Discussion”), and thus we examined the vitamin requirements of B. suis 513.”
