Abstract

AbstractThe effect of yeast cell volumetric concentration on the rheological properties of the suspensions was measured in a pipe‐flow viscometer at 30°C: at low microbial concentrations the suspensions were Newtonian; however, non‐Newtonian behaviour, which could be described by the power‐law equation, was observed with suspensions at high microbial volumetric concentrations. At conditions of constant microbial morphology and growth rate, the results also indicated that a relationship could be developed between the power‐law constants and the microbial volumetric concentration.
