[Possibility of culturing hydrogen bacteria in the presence of CO]. / O vozmozhnosti kul'tivirovaniia vodorodynkh bakterii v prisutstvii CO.

The growth of Hydrogenomonas eutropha Z-1 was studied in the presence of CO in the gaseous phase. The culture was found to be resistant to the action of carbon monoxide at concentrations of 5 per cent (periodic cultivation) and 7 per cent (continuous cultivation). The hydrogen bacteria can assimilate CO as a source of carbon.
