Air-stripping effects on cell growth with volatile substrates.

abstract：:The dissolved oxygen (DO) is an important variable in aerobic fermentations and affects the cell growth and product formation. Dissolved oxygen control is difficult in batch fermentations because of the time-varying conditions, time delays, and the probe dynamics. Modeling of the various patterns of biological activit...
