Abstract A cell suspension ofLinum flavum was grown in phosphate limited continuous culture at two different growth rates. Energy metabolism (respiration), coniferin and lignin production and overall biomass composition were analysed, in order to establish the relations between growth, maintenance and secondary metabolism. The ATP turnover rate was higher in the faster growing cultures, corresponding with a higher energy requirement. The coniferin production was not directly correlated with the growth rate, indicating the possibility of high production at high growth rates. Steady states grown under identical conditions showed different characteristics that may have evolved during pre-culture time.
