Abstract
The relation between ammonium concentration and growth rate was studied in steady state continuous cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in nitrogen-limited glucose ammonium medium. This relation could be described by the Monod equation. A maximum specific growth rate of 0.41 h-1 and a substrate constant for ammonium of 5-11 muM were calculated. Ammonium was determined by a modification of the phenol hypochlorite method. A discussion of the results in view of literature data on the substrate constants for other nutrients is given.Entities:
