Bacterial Cell Production from Hexadecane at High Temperatures

RESUMO

On mineral medium with hexadecane as the sole carbon source, stable mixed bacterial enrichment cultures were obtained from soil inoculum at 25, 35, 45, 55, and 65 C. Cell yields (grams of dry cells per gram of hexadecane) were determined for each of the enrichment cultures grown at the temperature at which they were enriched, and also for the 55 and 65 C cultures grown at various temperatures. In all cases, cell yields decreased with increasing growth temperature. The highest yield obtained at 65 C was 0.26, and the lowest yield obtained at 25 or 35 C was 1.02. Slower growth was observed at higher temperatures.
