Abstract
The oxygen uptake of Candida utilis growing in phased culture at doubling times of 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours was measured under conditions of nitrogen and energy source limitation. No abrupt doubling of oxygen uptake was observed at any stage of the cell cycle. The pattern of oxygen uptake was closely related to the assimilation of the growth-limiting nutrient. In nitrogen-limited growth, the specific oxygen uptake (Qo2) was found to decrease as the doubling time increased, but, in glucose-limited growth, no change was observed.Keywords
