Figure 1From: Purification of native HBHA from Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosisIncreasing biomass production using a bioreactor. Cultures of Map K-10 (ATCC BAA-968) in flask or bioreactor were inoculated with a pre-culture at an OD600 nm of 0.06. Both cultures were maintained at 37°C during 40 days under agitation and air in the bioreactor and under static conditions in the flask. The bacteria were harvested by centrifugation and the biomasses were weighed. The figure represents the average of three independent experiments (+/− standard deviations).Back to article page
