Lambda lysogens of Escherichia coli reproduce more rapidly than nonlysogens during aerobic growth in glucose-limited chemostats. If the environment is changed to anaerobic growth, the situation is reversed, and the lysogen reproduces more slowly than the nonlysogen. Based on a tetrazolium dye assay, the increased fitness of the lambda lysogen during aerobic growth seems to result from a continued high metabolic rate as glucose becomes limiting, whereas the metabolic rate of the nonlysogen declines. The lambda rex gene is required for the growth advantage of lysogens since lack of rex function causes lambda lysogens to lose their reproductive advantage over nonlysogens.
在葡萄糖受限的恒化器中进行需氧生长时,大肠杆菌的λ溶原菌比非溶原菌繁殖得更快。如果环境变为厌氧生长,情况则相反,溶原菌比非溶原菌繁殖得更慢。基于四氮唑染料测定法,λ溶原菌在需氧生长期间适应性增强似乎是由于随着葡萄糖变得有限,其代谢率持续保持在较高水平,而非溶原菌的代谢率则下降。λ溶原菌的生长优势需要λ rex基因,因为缺乏rex功能会导致λ溶原菌失去相对于非溶原菌的繁殖优势。
