Abstract

Ralstonia eutropha can grow autotrophically and are capable of consuming carbon from the environmental carbon dioxide  via  chemolithoautotrophic  metabolic  pathway.  The  optimum growth of the organisms was obtained at 30 0C, pH 6.5 and 7 days.  93% of  carbon consumption  was obtained after 192 hours at 30 0C.
