Anaerobic Growth Yields of Aerobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli

Eovaldo Hernandez 1, Marvin J Johnson 1
PMCID: PMC276766  PMID: 4963790

Abstract

Aerobacter cloacae UW-C83 and Escherichia coli K-12 were grown under various anaerobic environments. Yatp values were calculated by determination of cell weights and analyses for fermentation products. These Yatp values are compared with others reported in the literature. Limitation of growth by factors other than adenosine triphosphate supply is discussed.
