Chemostant culture of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus KB-2 was done under palm oil-limiting conditions for cell production, and variation of cell compositions and yield coefficients were investigated in connection with the specific growth rates. At the concentration of 0.6% palm oil, the productivity of cells and yield coefficient were 4.76 g cells/l/h and 1.18 g cells/g palm oil, respectively, at a practical dilution rate of 0.85 h^<-1>. About 80% of the palm oil was assimilated by the strain, and the maintenance coefficient was 0.035 g palm oil/g cells/h. Although the carbohydrate content remained essentially constant when the growth rate was varied, the lipid, protein, and nucleic acid contents were increased slightly at higher growth rates. Although the protein content increased only 3%, the protein yield coefficient (Y_p) increased about 1.5 times over the range of specific growth rates between 0.1 and 0.7 h^<-1>. The increase in Y_p was due to the higher protein content of the biomass and to higher values of the cell yield coefficient.
