Table 2 Growth rates and -yields in denitrifying batch cultures with glucose in basal mineral medium with- and without NH4+ as determined in Bioassay 1
From: High cell density cultivation by anaerobic respiration
Medium | Growth rate (µ, h−1) | YC (mol cell-C mol−1 glucose-C) | YN (mol cell-C mol−1 NO3 consumed) | % of NO3 assimilated | YNden (mol cell-C mol−1 NO3 respired) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
M1 (no NH4+) | 0.19 ± 0.02 (n = 6) | 0.28 ± 0.01 (n = 7) | 0.57 ± 0.01 (n = 7) | 15 ± 1 | 0.49 |
M2 (NH4+) | 0.23 ± 0.02 (n = 6) | 0.37 ± 0.002 (n = 7) | 0.75 ± 0.06 (n = 7) | 0 | 0.73 |
