Abstract
Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4 grows on an inorganic solid-state medium with no additional carbon and energy sources; however, it is unable to grow well in a liquid culture medium under the oligotrophic conditions. We examined submerged cultivations of N9T-4 using a polyurethane foam sponge to achieve approximately 10 times of the oligotrophic growth of the bacterium in the liquid culture medium.

Keywords: Rhodococcus erythropolis; aldehyde dehydrogenase; methanol dehydrogenase; oligotroph; submerged culture
