Abstract

Requirements of R-, S-, and M-dissociants of Pseudomonas aeruginosaK-2 strain in glucose, nitrate, and phosphate, as well as the error of determination, have been calculated from the data of 250 experiments on their batch cultivation on the media with the various initial content of these resources. The resource requirements of R- and S-dissociants appear indistinguishable within the error limits. The requirements of M-dissociant significantly differ from those of R- and S-forms; however, due to specific growth of the M-form, the confidence intervals of the measured values can overlap with those of R-space and S-forms. The obtained requirement values allow an evaluation of the studied resources concentration limiting the culture growth.
