On-line estimation of the biomass activity during animal-cell cultivations.

abstract：:Cost-effective production of biopharmaceuticals on a large scale can be carried out by perfusion cultures of mammalian cells. One problem with this mode of operation for submerged free-cell cultures is the requirement for an efficient cell separation device located in the effluent stream. The present work investigates...

abstract：:At the most fundamental level, saccharification occurs when cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) diffuse, bind to and react on readily accessible cellulose fibrils. Thus, the study of the diffusive behavior of solutes into and out of cellulosic substrates is important for understanding how biomass pore size distributio...
