title: Growth and cell volume of Euglena gracilis in different media.
abstract: It is necessary to propagate Euglena gracilis cells for several days after transfer from one medium to another to establish the steady state of balanced growth. Steady-state growth was established in minimal and in complex medium. Specific growth rates and cell volume distributions were computed for each culture medium. Mean cell volume of E. gracilis is not uniquely correlated with the specific growth rate.
