Enhancement of docosahexaenoic acid production by Schizochytrium sp. using a two-stage oxygen supply control strategy based on oxygen transfer coefficient

Abstract

This study showed the advantage of two-stage control strategy in terms of microbial physiology. As K(L) a is a scaling-up parameter, the idea developed in this paper could be scaled-up to industrial process and applied to other industrial biotechnological processes to achieve both high product concentration and high productivity.
