Continuous Cultivation of Microorganisms

This volume includes the full proceedings of sessions of the IInd International Symposium on continuous cultivation of microorganisms, which took place in Prague, June 18th to 23rd, 1962. The First International Symposium, held in Prague in June 1958, has requested our laboratory to help in coordinating scientific research concerned with the development of this method, which is so important at a time when microbiology has become an important field of biological and biochemical fundamental research, and when it has broadened its applications in industrial production. One of the means by which we are attempting to fulfil this task has been the organisation of this second symposium and the publication of its materials. We wish to bring this material and the progressive development of continuous processes reflected in them to the attention of the broadest public of scientists.
