β¦ Synopsis
The influence of temperature on the growth of the theromophilic Bacillus caldotenax was investigated using chemostat techniques and a chemically defined minimal medium. All determined growth constants, that is maximal specific growth rate, yield and maintenance, were temperature dependent. It was striking that the very large maintenance requirement was about 10 times higher than for mesophilic cells under equivalent conditions. A death rate, which was very substantial at optimal and supraoptimal growth temperatures, was estimated by comparing the maintenance for substrate and oxygen. There was no indication for a thermoadaptation as postulated by Haberstich and Zuber (1974).
