A kinetic model for ethanol fermentation of lactose using yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus DSMZ 5422 is proposed. The model consists of a set of differential equations which account for substrate consumption, ethanol production and biomass production. In the model, it is assumed that alcoholic fermentation is inhibited by ethanol itself and that a different metabolic pathway is set at certain etha...

Nowadays electroporation is well established as a method for increasing the permeability of biological membranes aiming to include some kind of molecule inside cells (anticancer drugs, for example) or to extract molecules from cells (enzymes, DNA, etc.). The permeabilized cells show a distribution of hydrophilic pores with diameters of several nanometers in the regions where the induced transme...
