Title: Evidence for osmoregulation of cell growth and buoyant density in Escherichia coli

Journal Article · · J. Bacteriol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5942770

The buoyant density of cells of Escherichia coli B/r NC32 increased with the osmolarity of the growth medium. Growth rate and its variability were also dependent upon the osmolarity of the medium. Maximum growth rates and minimum variability of these rates were obtained in Luria broth by addition of NaCl to a concentration of about 0.23 M. 6 references, 1 figure, 1 table.
