Abstract
AbstractThis paper considers techniques of measurement of the curves of oxygen consumption by microorganisms. The widely applied method of obtaining the value of the critical oxygen concentration (COC) using these curves has been analysed. The experimental conditions necessary for the adequate measurement of the culture respiration rate in a fermenter have been found. It has been shown that in the case when the respiration rate within the considered range of pO2 is determined by one and the same enzyme, the COC value is not an apropriate characteristic of the mode of the respiration rate dependence on oxygen concentration.
