摘要
The effect of regularly varying the input nutrient concentration on the growth and composition (elemental and macromolecular) of E. coli ML30 grown in chemostat culture is reported. After each change in substrate concentration a lag between the stimulus and organism response occurred, the magnitude of which was dependent upon the frequency of the perturbations. Both the growth yield and macromolecular composition of the cells varied with the frequency of nutrient cycling: the yield decreased by 10% as the cycle-times decreased from 6.0 to 0.25 h. Maintaining microoorganisms under controlled transient conditions might be useful in increasing yields of specific microbial products (e.g., single-cell protein).
