Notes:
Two kinds of redox-potential changes were observed in batch cultures of E. coli, B. subtilis and B. megaterium with intensive aeration and pH maintenance at constant level: (i) a gradual decrease of the redox potential during continual bacterial growth as a result of interactions between platinum electrode and cell surface; (ii) the redox jumps in the generation of which the soluble redox substances take part under the conditions of different transitional processes (exhaustion of the sources of carbon, energy of nitrogen, metabolism switching from one source to another and so on). The redox monitoring may be useful for cultivation control in these situations.
