Strain selection in carbon-limited chemostats affects reproducibility of Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus fermentations

L S Lacis et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1992 Feb.

Abstract

We found that the reproducibility of chemostat trials can be improved by using chemostat-adapted strains. Our experimental findings are consistent with adaptation that involves an improvement in culture fitness and an alteration of the fermentation genotype.
