Pichia fermentans ITD-00165 is a yeast with high potential to produce isoamyl acetate, but no previous works report its growth in continuous culture. A bioreactor containing chemically defined medium allowed cultures develop three dilution rates (0.25, 0.30 y 0.35 h-1), measuring the acetate production. Steady-state concentration was measured using an entrapping system based on bubbling column ...

Methods for continuous production of viruses, and operation of the virustat, an apparatus in which such production was accomplished, were studied. Continuous production requires a separate continuous host growth chamber, such as the chemostat, and a multiunit virus growth chamber into which the virus-inoculated host cells are led. Successful continuous output of MS-2 and varphiX174 viruses, the...

Habitat disturbance affects numerous ecosystem components and processes, but its effect on continuous soybean system is less available. Soybean was seeded following six preceding crops, including grain soybean (Glycine max L. Merill.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), corn (Zea mays L.) and hemp (Cannabis Satia L.), on a Mollisol ...

extensive research has been devoted to economic production quantity (epq) problem. however, little atten-tion has been paid to problems where depreciation cost and process quality cost must be considered, simulta-neously. in this paper, we consider the economic production quantity model of minimizing the annual total cost subject to depreciation cost and process quality cost, where depreciation...
