Notes:
Fed-batch cultivation of Methanobacterium formicicum Z-281 was performed under substrate limiting conditions. Specific rate of culture growth amounted to 0.041 h-1, cell yield related to substrate was 0.6 mg proteine/mM formate. Significant increase of coenzyme F420 content in cells depending on time of cultivation was observed. Increase of the fluorescence intensity of the medium was also observed with the accumulation of biomass. These parameters were suggested for tracking culture growth. The possibility of application of fluorescent factors for methanogenic population control in the anaerobic digester is discussed.
