In this paper a general cybernetic model has been developed to describe the growth of baker's yeast in every type of reactor (batch, fed-batch, continuous). The model, which takes into account also the mass-transfer oxygen limitation, has been tested on literature continuous runs performed at different aerating gas composition. The results obtained show that the model can describe the growth of S. cerevisiae also under conditions of inefficient aeration, so it should be useful to optimise and modeling industrial bioreactors.

Abstract
In this paper a general cybernetic model has been developed to describe the growth of baker's yeast in every type of reactor (batch, fed-batch, continuous). The model, which takes into account also the mass-transfer oxygen limitation, has been tested on literature continuous runs performed at different aerating gas composition. The results obtained show that the model can describe the growth of S. cerevisiae also under conditions of inefficient aeration, so it should be useful to optimise and modeling industrial bioreactors.File in questo prodotto:
