Carbon-limited chemostat cultures of Klebsiella aerogenes NCTC 418 consumed more oxygen per unit of cell synthesis when growing on mannitol or glycerol than when growing on glucose; and since the "maintenance" requirements were similar, this suggested that the extra reducing equivalents present in t

Klebsiella aerogenes NCTC 418 was grown in chemostat cultures (D = 0.17 hr-1; pH 6.8;35 degrees C) that were, successively, carbon-, sulphate-, ammonia-, and phosphate-limited, and which contained as the sole carbon-substrate first glucose, then glycerol, mannitol and lactate. Quantitative analyses
Klebsiella aerogenes harbouring the plasmid pBR322 was grown in continuous culture at various growth rates under glucose, phosphate or ammonia limitation. With tetracycline in the medium, the maximum culture beta-lactamase activity was found at the higher growth rates. When tetracycline was absent,
With chemostat cultures of Klebsiella aerogenes growing at a fixed dilution rate, initially under conditions of glucose-limitation, transition to either potassium-limitation or ammonia-limitation was found not to be a steep step function. A wide range of intermediate steady states could be establish
