Einfluß sauerstoffhaltiger C₁‐Verbindungen auf das Wachstum methanassimilierender Bakterien

Abstract

Added C,-compounds of the intermediates methanol, formaldehyde, formate and carbon dioxide show a catalytic effect on the growth rate and cell yield of CH,-assimilating bacteria GB 25 with serine pathway.Maximum stimulation is obtained by added amounts of about 20 mg C,-compound/g bacterix dry matter. The influence of C,-compounds decreases as follows: methanol > carbon dioxide > formate > formaldehyde.
