ABSTRACT
Continuous culture of Ureaplasma urealyticum is reported with a steady-state cell biomass of greater than 10(6) cells per ml. Thus, large cell numbers can be easily obtained; in addition, the system provides a powerful means for exploring what nutrients(s) limits the growth yield of this organism. Urea is shown not to be the growth-limiting nutrient in conventional media, although when provided in excess it appears to be completely hydrolyzed.
