Growth of Escherichia Coli in High Pressure Helium-Oxygen Gas Atmospheres

Abstract

Growth of Escherichia coli strain W was accelerated by pressurization to 68 atm (1000 psig) with helium-oxygen gas atmospheres. The acceleration appeared to be related to sequestration of iron and more efficient iron utilization by pressurized cells.
