157. RESPIRATION RATES: BACTERIA 



Rate and degree of respiration of bacteria may be affected by nun:ierous factors, such as strain characteristics, 

 composition of growth medium, age and number of cells in an inoculum, origin of inoculum, age of culture harvested 

 for study, nature of solution used for washing, number of washings, and composition of the respiratory system. 

 Values are pil/mg dry weight/hour. Data are for bacterial suspensions in the presence of glucose.
