FIG. 5.

ATP per cell and prodigiosin per cell during low-prodigiosin growth in base complex broth. S. marcescens Nima pregrown for 1 day on a base complex medium slant at 37°C was washed into base complex broth to an initial OD₇₅₀ of 0.04. Growth was continued with aeration at 37°C. Samples were removed at 0.25-h intervals for assay of cell, prodigiosin, and ATP concentrations. Vertical arrows denote the logarithmic growth phase.
