Abstract
AbstractCitric acid fermentation on pilot plant scale was studied, using two strains of Aspergillus niger of different productivity. Growth and product formation were analyzed from a high number of data points. Several phases could be distinguished which were described by a sequence of logarithmic, cube‐root, and linear equations. Growth and product formation could be related by a modified Luedeking‐Piret equation, taking into consideration a lag time for the organism to shift to shift into the physiological state ready for product formation. The observed differences in productivity of the two strains are reflected by the different non‐growth‐associated terms of the equation. In light of these findings the classical "type II fermentation" is redefined as a mixed type–resembling type I during trophophase and type III during idiophases.
