Conversion of pentoses by yeasts.

abstract：:A mathematical model is formulated to describe trends in biomass and penicillin formation as well as substrate consumption for fed-batch cultivations. The biomass is structured into three morphological compartments, and glucose and corn steep liquor are considered as substrates for growth. Penicillin formation is assu...
