摘要

By using an LKB-2277 bioactivity monitor, cycle-flow mode,the thermogenic curve of metabolism of Escherichia coli NCTC 10418 growth at 37°C in basic media was determined.The experimental results indicate that the relationship between cell concentration and power output can be characterized by the equations: C=k'P+a dC/dP0 = KCn, n=1 where P is the power output (μW), C is cell concentration (mg/mL), P0 is the power output produced by the metabolism of one unit of cell (P0=P/0.6C),the order of metabolism n is 1, and k′, a and K are constants which depend on the culture condition and phylogenic state of the cells.These equations are different from those of the non-growth metabolism of resting cells and endogenous mtabolism of cells. For different kinds of metabolism of cells, the order of metabolism, n, is different. For endogenous metabolism,n =0, for growth metabolism, n=1, and for non-growth metabolism of resting cells, n = 2.The equations are general thecal equations for the various different kinds of metabolism of cells.
