Mouse의 대장에서 분리된 E. coli LI-10 균주를 보조균주로 하여 Cellulomonas sp. KL-6과 혼합배양한 결과, 균체증식은 주균주와 보조균주를 1 : 1(v/v)의 비로 혼합하였을 때 가장 좋았다. 혼합배양은 주균주 단독배양 보다 균체증식을 63% 정도로 증가시켰으며 두 균주의 분포도는 10 : 1 비율로 KL-6 균주가 주로 분포되어 있었다. 0.1%의 $CaCO_3$의 첨가는 무첨가에 비해 각 배양기간별로 pH를 상승시켜 어느정도의 균체증식을 가져왔다. Filter paper 배지에서 혼합배양시, 본 균주들은 cellobiose를 월등하게 많이 생산하였으나 glucose는 검출되지 않았다. 균체증식 최적배지에서 4일간 혼합배양하였을 때, $1.0;g/{ell}$의 균체량을 생산하여 기본배지인 CMC 배지에서 생산한 균체량보다 53% 정도가 증가되었다.
Experiments were carried out to find possibility of economic production of SCP in mixed culture by Cellulomonas sp. KL-6 and E. coli LI-10. The best cell growth was obtained at the ratio of 1 : 1(v/v) in mixed culture. When these strains were mixed culture, cell growth was increased to about 63%, compared with those of single culture of strain KL-6. It was found that the majority of the population during growth in mixed culture consisted of strain KL-6. $CaCO_3$ added to the medium as the ratio of 0.1% was enhanced medium pH. Cell growth increased in that circumstances. These strains produced much amounts of cellobiose, but glucose was not detected in filter paper medium. When these organisms were cultured under the optimal medium for 4 days, cell mass was produced $1.0;g/{ell}$. The results showed the increase of cell mass up to 53% than those produced in CMC medium.
