Abstract
Microbial growth media and methods of growing a microorganism. The microbial growth media may include a growth-stimulating amount of phosphoglucomutase in combination with one or more of a carbon and nitrogen source, a fermentable sugar, and an inorganic salt. The methods of growing a microorganism may include culturing a sample suspected of containing the microorganism in a microbial growth medium containing a growth-stimulating amount of phosphoglucomutase. Microbial growth-stimulating protein compositions and uses of same are also provided.
