Ammonium uptake kinetics of low specific growth rate cultures of Pseudomonas putida PGA1, a gram negative fluorescent pseudomonad, which is an important producer of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA) molecules, were studied. The ammonium uptake follows a first-order kinetics model, indicating that the...
