Continuous Culture Used for Media Optimization

R I Mateles 1, E Battat 1
PMCID: PMC186853  PMID: 4451372

Abstract

A technique is described in which continuous culture is used for the optimization of media in terms of growth-supporting ability. The technique consists of identifying growth-limiting nutrients by observing the reaction of the continuous system to injection of suspected growth-limiting nutrients into the growth vessel.
