[Kinetic parameters of a culture of the hydrogen-oxidizing Ralstonia eutropha, grown under the regimen of biosynthesis of polyhydroxybutyrate].

Kinetic parameters of a culture of the hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium Ralstonia eutropha, grown on a gas substrate under the conditions favoring autotrophic biosynthesis of polyhydroxybutyrate, were studied. The following parameters, making it possible to control and optimize the process in industrial situations, were determined: specific rate of substrate consumption, physical properties of culture medium, and coefficients of heat emission and mass transfer.
