Abstract

Maltose-limited, continuous growth of the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima at different temperatures and dilution rates (80 degrees C/0.25 h(-1), 80 degrees C/0.17 h(-1), and 85 degrees C/0.25 h(-1)) showed that transcriptome-wide variation in gene expression within mechanical steady states was minimal compared to that between steady states, supporting the efficacy of chemostat-based approaches for functional genomics studies.
