Estimations of bacterial growth rates in natural waters

H W Jannasch. J Bacteriol. 1969 Jul.

Abstract

Specific growth rates as low as 0.005 hr(-1) (generation times of 20 to 200 hr) of aquatic bacteria in natural waters have been calculated from significant differences between dilution rates and washout rates in a chemostat. The measured growth rates were affected by the treatment of the water samples (type of sterilization) and by competition with the natural microflora for the unknown growth-limiting substrate.
