Abstract

High density cell cultivation of a marine photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodovulum sp. PS88 with self-flocculated cells was established by using a single-tower fermenter. High density cell culture with continuous cultivation was yielded 43 g dry matter l−1 with acetate as a substrate consumed at 22.5 g/l day. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998
