Only glucose, fructose and mannose were avidly consumed; galactose was consumed in small quantities. Light was highly stimulatory for the consumption of sugars. The carbohydrates assimilated were polymerized to starch; this induced gigantism in the organisms, a considerable increase in the dry weight, and inhibition of division., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-43-1-139
