Fermentation kinetics including product and substrate inhibitions plus biomass death: a mathematical analysis
Fermentation is generally modelled by kinetic equations giving the time
evolutions for biomass, substrate, and product concentrations. Although these
equations can be solved analytically in simple cases if substrate/product
inhibition and biomass death are included, they are typically solved
numerically. We propose an analytical treatment of the kinetic equations
--including cell death and an arbitrary number of inhibitions-- in which
constant yield needs not be assumed. Equations are solved in phase space, i.e.
the biomass concentration is written explicitly as a function of the substrate
concentration.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
