Cultivation Techniques for Hyperthermophilic Archaebacteria: Continuous Culture of Pyrococcus furiosus at Temperatures near 100 degrees C.
A system which allows continuous cultivation of hyperthermophilic archaebacteria at temperatures approaching 100 degrees C has been developed. Continuous cultivation of the hyperthermophile Pyrococcus furiosus was carried out with this system; the resulting dilution rate and gas production profiles are discussed.
