Abstract
AbstractApplying the carbon balance principle, the interrelationship between ν = μ/Y + m (μ is the specific growth rate of microorganism, v is the specific substrate consumption rate) and π = Aμ B (Luedeking–Piret eqyuation, π is the specific metabolite formation rate) has been established for three types of simple microbial reactions. Equations for the kinetic parameters A and B have been proposed for each of the three types of microbial reactions, Expresses in terms of γx, γs and γp (carbon contents of dry cell, mass, major carbon energy source, and metabolite) as well as the parameters Y and m. Values of both A and B calculated from the proposed equations were compared with their experimental data for lactic acid fragmentation, aerobic SCP production, and alcohol fermentation. The estimated values agreed with the observed ones with reasonably small deviations.
