The effect of CO2 availability on cell size, shape, and aggregation in continuous cultures of Candida utilis was studied in minimal medium with glucose or ethanol as the sole carbon and energy source. Enrichment with CO2 was achieved (i) by using the substrate with more C atoms, (ii) by using pure oxygen and thus decreasing aeration intensity at the same dissolved-oxygen concentration, or (iii) by adding CO2 to the aeration gas. The cells were always of yeast shape, and no filaments were formed. In cultures with a biomass concentration above 6 g (dry weight) per liter, no cell aggregates were observed. In cultures with a lower biomass, the daughter cells failed to separate from the parent cells and formed aggregates with thickened walls. The average cell number per aggregate was found to be higher, and the average protoplast volume lower, under conditions of probable CO2 limitation. Simultaneously, the ratio of total dry weight to wet weight of protoplasts was considerably higher, indicating an increased share of wall or extracellular material. The possible effect of the observed morphological changes for maintaining a suitable concentration gradient of CO2 around the cell is discussed.
