Abstract

The rheological properties of culture fluids have a profound effect on the course of a fermentation, the response and reliability of sensors, and on the difficulty of recovery processes. In addition, the rheological properties can be sensitive indicators of the state of a fermentation and can be useful for purposes of control and monitoring. In this paper the fundamentals and important nomenclature of rheology are introduced, the merits of various experimental methods for measuring rheological properties are discussed, critical evaluations are presented of past studies of the rheological properties of culture fluids and the effects of these properties, and suggestions are made for further investigation and development.
