Growth Kinetics in SSF Systems: Experimental Approaches

  • Chapter
Solid-State Fermentation Bioreactors

15.4 Conclusion

This chapter has shown how it is possible to plan experiments in order to determine the kinetic profile and, in the case that the biomass is estimated on the basis of measurements of a biomass component, how these measurements can be processed in order to obtain an estimated biomass profile. The next chapter shows how the kinetic equation determined from this profile can be written in differential form within a kinetic model of growth.
