A teflon chemostat constructed for studies of microbial trace metal metabolism is described. The utility of this continuous culture system was demonstrated with Streptococcus mutans, in which iron and manganese stimulated growth in ranges of 0.18 to 0.45 and 18 to 54 microM, respectively. This device should facilitate studies of the effect of trace metals on a variety of physiological functions.
本文描述了一种为研究微生物微量金属代谢而构建的聚四氟乙烯恒化器。该连续培养系统在变形链球菌中得到了验证,其中铁和锰分别在0.18至0.45微摩尔和18至54微摩尔的范围内刺激生长。该装置应有助于研究微量金属对各种生理功能的影响。
