Specific Phase

The cells of Bacillus subtilis, grown in minimal media, are known to become competent for transformation for a short period at a specific phase of ceil growth. In the present work the cells (strain 168 ind−) were grown in continuous culture (chemostat; glucose limiting, generation time 4 h, 37 °C). Aliquots were removed at 20- to 24-h intervals and immediately tested for competence. The viability (41 h) was 97%. The initial very low competence increased up to 200-fold within the 24 h and remained at this high, slowly decreasing level for at least 168 h. It is concluded that a long-lasting competence may develop and persist in the cells in continuous culture ("steady-state"), without demonstrable harmful effects to the population.

Batch Data

The growth of Streptococcus cremoris on a semidefined medium was studied at initial lactose concentrations of 0.2–5.0% in batch culture, and in lactose-limited chemostat cultures at 0.5% lactose. Kinetic analysis of the batch data, using statistical techniques, indicated the importance of lactose limitation and lactic acid inhibition of the growth of S. cremoris. A model for the biomass production, lactose utilization, and lactic acid production in batch culture was proposed. In continuous culture, it was found that steady state populations were maintained at higher dilution rates (D = 0.6–0.7 h−1) than the maximum predicted by batch culture (0.56 h−1). No evidence for a selection of fast-growing mutants was obtained. Copious growth adhering to the walls of the fermentor (i.e. wall growth) occurred very rapidly at higher dilution rates and this undoubtedly affected steady-state growth and wash-out and, as a consequence, the apparent maximum dilution rate.
