PMCID: PMC203008  PMID: 16347998

Abstract

A system which allows continuous cultivation of hyperthermophilic archaebacteria at temperatures approaching 100°C has been developed. Continuous cultivation of the hyperthermophile Pyrococcus furiosus was carried out with this system; the resulting dilution rate and gas production profiles are discussed.
