| Method |
"[Researchers] investigated the effect of the pH value of the growth
environment on the activity and synthesis of the glucose
dehydrogenase and the gluconate dehydrogenase in K.
pneumoniae." "Klebsiella pneumoniae was grown under conditions of potassium
limitation at D = 0.3 h-1 (doubling time 2.3hours) and at pH 6.0 using
glucose as carbon and energy source." |
| Comments |
"The most striking
result was an enormous production of gluconate and
2-ketogluconate by the chemostat cultures growing at pH
values lower than pH 6.5, where about 80% of the total glucose metabolized was converted into gluconic and
2-ketogluconic acids." |
