The inhibitory effects of organic acids produced as fermentation end-products during methylotrophic growth of the acidogenic anaerobe, Eubacterium limosum have been investigated. Precise quantification of the intracellular concentrations of acetate and butyrate, together with delta pH measurements indicate that butyrate efflux cannot be explained by a process of passive diffusion. Intracellular concentrations of butyrate were significantly lower than those of the culture broth. It is argued that growth inhibition by butyrate is due to energetic limitations resulting from the energy drain associated with this non-passive efflux mechanism.
