Summary Pseudomonas cepacia ATCC 29351 was cultivated on salicylate as sole carbon source in a system with complete cell recycling by means of a hollow fiber microfilter. Comparisons with batch cultures and continuous cultures are made with respect to cell densities, yield coefficients, specific enzyme activities and volumetric productivities. In batch cultures the toxicity of the salicylate limits the cell densities to below 1 g/l. In a recycling cultivation, a cell concentration of 15.1 g/l was obtained and the volumetric productivity of the cell mass was increased by a factor of 3. No serious effects on the cells were noted.
