A kinetic study of the lactic acid fermentation. Batch process at controlled pH. Reprinted from Journal of Biochemical and Microbiological Technology Engineering Vol. I, No. 4. Pages 393-412 (1959).
Kinetic data are needed to develop basic understanding of fermentation processes and to permit rational design of continuous fermentation processes. The kinetics of the fermentation of glucose to lactic acid have been studied at six constant pH levels between 4. 5 and 6.0 by measuring the instantaneous rates of bacterial growth and of lactic acid formation throughout each fermentation. It was f...
متن کاملGUEST COMMENTARY Bacterial Growth: Constant Obsession with dN/dt
One of life’s inevitable disappointments—one felt often by scientists and artists, but not only by them—comes from expecting others to share the particularities of one’s own sense of awe and wonder. This truth came home to me recently when I picked up Michael Guillen’s fine book Five Equations That Changed the World (4) and discovered that my equation—the one that shaped my scientific career—wa...
متن کاملPopulation Growth in a Random Environment: Which Stochastic Calculus?
Let N = N(t) be the size (number of individuals, density, biomass) of a population (of animals, plants, bacteria, cells) at time t ≥ 0 and assume the initial population size N(0) = N0 > 0 is known. A general density dependent growth model assumes that the per capita growth rate (abbrev. growth rate) has the form 1 N dN dt = f(N), where f(·) : (0,+∞) 7→ (−∞,+∞) is a continuously differentiable f...
متن کاملOn the Interpretation of the Age Distribution of Star Clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We re-analyze the age distribution (dN/dt) of star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using age determinations based on the Magellanic Cloud Photometric Survey. For ages younger than 3×10 yr the dN/dt distribution can be approximated by a power-law distribution, dN/dt ∝ t , with −β = −0.70±0.05 or −β = −0.84±0.04, depending on the model used to derive the ages. Predictions for a clust...
متن کاملEffect of organic modifiers on the thermo-optic characteristics of inorganic–organic hybrid material films
The thermo-optic coefficient (dn/dT) of inorganic–organic hybrid material films prepared by the sol-gel process of organoalkylsilanes is measured using a prism coupler equipped with a hot stage. The effect of the organic modifier on the variation of dn/dT in inorganic–organic hybrid material films has been investigated. The value of dn/dT becomes more negative with increasing molecular weight o...
