FIG. 1.

Bacterial density as a function of input glucose concentrations in glucose-limited chemostats. Chemostats inoculated with wild-type strain MC41000 were supplied with feed medium containing 0.005 to 0.12% glucose at a dilution rate of 0.3 h⁻¹. Bacterial densities were obtained from measurements of optical density at 600 nm from individual chemostats and converted to cell numbers from viable plate counts of diluted cultures.
