Abstract
The kinetics of glucose limited growth by a marine
yeast, shown to be a Rhodotorula species, have been
studied in a continuous culture apparatus. The saturation
constant, in synthetic media, has been calculated to be
0.25 mg/l, on the assumption that saturation kinetics are
followed, The maximum growth rate was determined in both
synthetic media, and artificial sea water. On the basis
of inhibition kinetics, the kinetic behavior of this
yeast in the marine environment has been predicted.
The effect of temperature on the maximum growth
rate has been determined and, on the assumption of a
similar effect on the saturation constant, the saturation
constant has been postulated to be in agreement with
similar values determined for other microorganisms.
