Abstract
When Haemophilus influenzae type b was grown under iron limitation in continuous culture, the dilution rate affected the outer membrane protein and lipopolysaccharide composition. Investigations of the effect of the reduced availability of iron or other environmental parameters on these surface components should be controlled for growth rate.
