Abstract A continuous culture apparatus of 5‐liter capacity is described which is capable of control of dissolved oxygen. Combined turbidostat and constant feed operation permit control of cell population density and one or more nutrients. A system for the measurement of oxygen uptake and CO 2 output is described. Sufficient detail is supplied to enable construction and operation of the apparatus.
