Steady states were maintained for up to 500 h without deterioration of the culture or the development of mutant strains. The efficiency of conversion of the glucose substrate utilized into exopolysaccharide by the chemostat cultures was as high as 73%. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-104-1-47
