Escherichia coli K12, UC41 (an auxotroph) and UC175 (a wild type)
were used to determine possible relationships between binding, uptake,
and respiration and minimum growth temperature.
Both E. coli strains had a minimum growth temperature of 8.0 C in
glucose minimal medium when cells were previously grown at 15 C....
The marine vibrio ANT-500 is a typical psychrophile. The
growth range of the bacterium at 35‰ S is from a maximum growth
temperature of 13.5 C to a minimum growth temperature of -2.5 C
or less with the optimum near 7 C. The bacterium elaborates its
chitinase enzymes between the...
