Automated fermentation equipment II. Computer–fermentor system

Abstract

Abstract An expensive computer‐operated system suitable for data collection and steady‐state optimum control of fermentation processes is presented. With this system, minimum generation time has been determined as a function of temperature and pH in the turbidostat cultivation of a yeast strain. The applicability of the computer‐fermentor system is also presented by the determination of the dynamic K L a value.
