Summary
The metabolite pattern of batch cultures ofLactobacillus casei LMG 6400,Clostridium butyricum LMG 1213t1 andEscherichia coli LMG 2093 was effected only for the latter organism when the H2 partial pressure was below 1 atmosphere: high hydrogen partial pressures increased the formate formation, low pressures gave rise to increased acetate production and higher cell yields.
