E.RUSTRIAN, J.P. DELGENES AND R. MOLETTA. 1996. Experiments were performed to examine the effect of volatile fatty acids(VFA) as carbon source, on the phoshate uptake parameters in four Acinetobacter strains. Acetic and butyric acids were equally good carbon sources for phosphate removal, while propionic acid was the least efficient substrate. The best ratios of assimilated phosphate vs VFA consumed were 0‐178 wit acetic acid by Ac.calcoaceticus NRRL 4270, 0.21 with propionic acid by Ac.calcoaceticus NRRL 4270 AND 0.187 with butyric acid by Acinetobacter sp.SUCT 5.
