Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate Variations during Batch Fermentation of <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> Subspecies <i>kurstaki</i> HD‐1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The specific oxygen uptake rate (q(O)2, respiration rate) of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-1 was very high at inoculation and was found to decrease essentially monotonically throughout both vegetative growth phase and transition phase under different batch culture conditions. Average q(O)2 values decreased from 8-10 mmol/g h at 1 h after inoculation to less than 2 mmol/g h by the time growth ended. The results are shown to be consistent with the few previous reports on q(O)2 in B. thuringiensis in the literature but also novel in that this pattern of monotonic decline has not been described previously. Both pH control and EDTA in low concentration shortened the vegetative growth phase and reduced the 10 h biomass concentration. Using plots of q(O)2 versus specific growth rate, mu, biomass yield based on the oxygen used for growth, was calculated for transition phase to be 0.041-0.047 g/mmol, consistent with literature values. The same plot also showed that the presence of EDTA resulted in an atypical q(O)2-mu trajectory and apparently much higher biomass yield from the oxygen consumed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
