ABSTRACT
A thermophilic mixed population of bacteria, capable of utilizing methanol as its sole carbon-energy source at temperatures up to 65 C, was selected by enrichment and studied. A maximal cellular yield of 0.42 g per g of methanol was observed at 50 to 56 C. The maximal specific growth rate of the mixed population in continuous culture at 56 C was greater than 0.32 per h. The amino acid profile of the mixed culture indicated that a high quality protein was produced and the protein content was 71%. The properties of this culture and its ability to grow at elevated temperatures are discussed in terms of single-cell protein production and the treatment of industrial waste.
