Abstract excerpt

Bacillus stearothermophilus grew readily on glycerol in carbon-limited chemostat culture and expressed a high carbon conversion efficiency. However, the strain of organism used (probably B. stearothermophilus var. nondiastaticus) proved particularly sensitive to glycerol, both respiration and gro...
