title: The dilution rate affects the outer membrane protein and lipopolysaccharide composition of Haemophilus influenzae type b grown under iron limitation.
abstract: When Haemophilus influenzae type b was grown under iron limitation in continuous culture, the dilution rate affected the outer membrane protein and lipopolysaccharide composition. Investigations of the effect of the reduced availability of iron or other environmental parameters on these surface components should be controlled for growth rate.
