Method |
Bacteria was cultivated under CO-dependent chemolithotrophic
conditions. The
composition of undefined medium (UM) was as previously
described (Savage et al., 1986 PMID 3941046). Growth in UM was initiated with
early-log-phase UM cultures. In all experiments, growth was
initiated by injecting 1 ml of inoculum into 10 ml of fresh
medium. To assess the
effects of CO2 on CO-dependent growth, the initial CO/CO2
ratio was varied and the products formed were determined
upon cessation of growth. |
Comments |
This doubling time corresponds to growth rate of 0.099hours^-1. See bottom line in table link for amounts of acetate, CO2 and carbon formed. See BNID 105525 |
