Abstract
In the following chapter, we discuss the role of two-phase substrate transfer and partitioning for substrate bioavailability. We describe four different two-phase cultivation techniques, which aim at controlling growth-limiting substrate mass transfer rates (Protocols 1 and 2) and/or at decreasing the toxicity of substrates (Protocols 3 and 4).
