Metabolic conversions of CO during growth of M. acetivorans. Cells were grown in bicarbonate-buffered high-salt medium under a N2/CO2 (80:20) headspace with continuous agitation. Metabolites were determined as stated in Materials and Methods.AnOD420 of 1.0 corresponds to a dry weight of 0.41 ± 0.07 mg/ml of culture, under the culture conditions used here.
