Abstract
Although chlorate (ClO3-) is not a naturally occurring compound, chlorate can serve as an electron acceptor for a number of microorganisms. To investigate the rate that chlorate-reducing microbes can grow on different substrates, growth rate constants were determined in chemostat studies under chlorate-reducing conditions. Maximum growth rates using acetate, glucose-glutamic acid, and phenol were 0.56, 0.12, and 0.040 h-1, with cell yields of 0.12, 0.41, and 0.12 g-cell/g-substrate, respectively.
