M. Gouw et al., Effect of nitrate exposure history on the oxygen/nitrate diauxic growth ofPseudomonas denitrificans, WATER RES, 35(11), 2001, pp. 2794-2798
Pseudomonoas dentrificans pre-cultured (revived from agar plates) under var
ying conditions (nitrate absent or present: dissolved oxygen absent or pres
ent) was subsequently grown aerobically with or without nitrate present. an
d finally exposed to anoxic conditions (i.e., aeration slopped and dissolve
d oxygen stripped from solution). The occurrence and length of diauxic lags
following transition from aerobic to anoxic conditions were affected stron
gly by the nitrate and oxygen exposure history of the biomass. (C) 2001 Els
