title: Non-aerated cultivation of Halobacterium cutirubrum and its effect on cellular squalenes.
abstract: Halobacterium cutirubrum was successfully cultivated under aerobic and microaerobic conditions. The early stationary phase of growth was obtained at 2.2 days and 45--55 days for aerated and non-aerated cultures, respectively. The dry cell yields were 0.7--1.2 gm/1 in all preparations grown to early stationary growth phase. The cellular ratio of squalene to dihydro- and tetra-hydrosqualene decreased proportionately with decreased aeration rates.
