[Autotrophic growth of Hydrogenomonas eutropha during optimal gas supply]. / Avtotrofnyi rost Hydrogenomonas eutropha pri optimal'nom gazosnabzhenii

Growth of hydrogen bacteria was studied in conditions of continuous cultivation at concentrations of 4 and 8 gram/litre. Growth characteristics were plotted as a function of cell concentration and oxygen partial pressure in the gas phase. The cells were also cultivated in periodic conditions to a concentration of 51 gram/litre at a productivity of 2.0--4.5 gram/litre per hours.
