OVERVIEW ON ELEMENTAL KINETICS OF MICROBIAL GROWTH
Michele Vitolo*
Abstract This study discusses concepts of the evaluation of cell growth, product formation, and substrate consumption during batch, fed-batch, or continuous fermentation. The parameters considered were the average and/or instantaneous rates of change in cell density, product formation, and substrate consumption. Concepts of productivity, specific rate, and conversion factor were also discussed. Moreover, the study addresses the correlation between cell growth and product formation and the mechanisms of metabolic regulation and membrane transport. Keywords: Fermentation, prokaryotes, eukaryotes, microbial cell kinetics. [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
