Kinetic models for bioethanol production from waste sorghum leaves by Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4743 are presented. Fermentation processes were carried out at varied initial glucose concentrations (12.5–30.0 g/L). Experimental data on cell growth and substrate utilisation fit the Monod kinetic model with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.95. A maximum specific growth rate (μmax) and Mon...

Yeasts can accumulate heavy metals and grow in acidic media. In the present study, it was shown that Candida yeasts an aqueous solution single Cu(II) Ni(II) cations. The effect of metal ions on specific growth rate biomasses uptake during phase investigated a batch system. Bioaccumulation efficiency decreased with increasing ion concentrations at constant sucrose concentrations. Both biomass co...

The transition from eco-harmful chemical processes to bio-based production of organics has been challenged by the complex nature fermentation processes. growth kinetics and modelling oxalic acid cassava whey Aspergillus niger (MW188538) was studied in a batch system. study fitted into Monod, Leudeking-Piret Andrews kinetic models. acid, reducing sugar, cell dry weights were determined according...

kinetics of single cell protein production from natural gas by a microorganism (a methylomonas sp.) was studied experimentally and by modeling at equal amount of air and natural gas. kinetic models of monod, moser, teissier, aiba, andrews, and noack were used for illustrating cell growth. methane and oxygen were considered as limited substrates with concentration in the range 2-10 mg/lit. death...

OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of iron and phosphorus on Microcystis physiological reactions. METHODS The experimental conditions were chosen as the light dark cycles of 16 h 8 h, 12 h 12 h, and 8 h 16 h. The cell change of morphology and life history, cell number, cell color, and cell area of Microcystis were analyzed quantitatively. According to the resource competition and Monod equation...

The effect of formaldehyde on kinetics of biomass growth and consump­ tion of glucose by yeasts Candida tropicalis CC Y 29-7-33 has been inves­ tigated. For modelling of kinetics of biomass growth and consumption of the substrate the models according to Monod, Contois, and Andrews were applied. The parameters of kinetic equations were determined using the combined explicit and implicit Euler me...
