2. 1. Effects of high sugar concentrations in production scale bioreactor : a scale-down study of s. cervisiae

   Author : Stefan George; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Substrate concentration gradients exist in large-scalebioreactors, due to a combination of insufficient mass transferand mixing, and microbial activities. Zones with high substrateconcentration may arise close to a feed point. It is largelyunknown to what extent these gradients influence themicroorganisms and what the microbial response might be.
