Lactic acid production in a batch submerged fermentation process by five Lactobacilli: bulgaricus, casei, lactis, delbrueckii and fermentum in lactose fortified whey culture were investigated. Kinetic behavior of Lactobacilli growth rate and lactose utilization was studied based on the Moser and Gompertz kinetic models. Trendline tool in Excel software was applied for fitness assessment of the ...

in this work, mathematical modeling of microbial(trichosporon sp.) biomass production in a stirred tankbioreactor and in an external airlift bioreactor has beeninvestigated. a model based on a tanks-in-seriesmodel without back-flow has been used to simulate theproduction of single cell protein in the external airliftbioreactor under an unsteady condition and withoutoxygen limitation, utilizing ...

Cell growth and lactose consumption profile of five Lactobacillus Strains: bulgaricus, casei, lactis, delbrueckii and fermentum has been investigated. Experiments of cell growth and substrate utilization were conducted in batch submerged culture of whey with added lactose and some other growth factors. Fitness assessment of experimental data on the cell growth and lactose consumption by Monod k...

The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...

background and objectives: lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp bulgaricus is widely used in dairy industries as a starter for yogurt production. this study was designed using response surface methodology (rsm) in 12 batch ph-controlled cultures of lactobacillus delbrueckii sub-ssp. bulgaricus for determining the effect of temperature and ph on the biomass production of a native strain of l. bulgaricu...

the steel slag is the main by-product of steel industry. the aim of this study using the steel slag as a low-cost absorbent in order to remove cadmium pollutant from industrial wastewater. some factors that affect the process of cadmium removal by steel slag such as ph, contact time, absorbent dosage and cadmium initial concentration has been studied. standard solution of synthetic wastewater i...

abstract in this work, the dry reforming of methane was studied using a corona and glow discharge plasma microreactors. a chemical kinetic model was developed to understand the reaction better. the modelization allowed prediction of the reactants conversion according to the energy transfer to the gas (p×τ). the β value is trait of the energy cost, whatever this value was leeser indicated better...

The present study is focused on biodesulfurization of natural gas in a batch culture using active microorganisms. The microorganisms used for the removal of hydrogen sulfide were obtained from a hot spring. The experiments were conducted with mixed gas at operating temperatures of 25 to 45°C with a time interval of 5h. Two kinetic models included Logistic and Monod models in a batch culture wer...
