To clarify the growth mechanisms of Rhodococcus in the alkane phase, we measured oxygen utilization in the alkane phase. The results showed that dissolved oxygen decreased significantly when viable cells were present in the alkane phase. The findings suggested that Rhodococcus strains can grow in alkanes and utilize the resident dissolved oxygen.
为了阐明 Rhodococcus 在烷烃相中的生长机制,我们测量了烷烃相中氧气的利用情况。结果表明,当有活细胞存在于烷烃相中时,溶解氧会显著下降。这些发现表明 Rhodococcus 菌株可以在烷烃中生长并利用原位溶解氧。
