FIG. 2.
Growth of M. jannaschii at 7.8 atm (○) and 260 atm (•). Both cultivations were performed at 80°C under hyperbaric pressure. Every sample was withdrawn in 1 s except for the sample labeled “decompression for 5 min,” which was obtained following a gradual decompression and cell harvesting step. (A) Absorbance changes of culture sample; (B) protein content changes in culture sample.
