Abstract
The following general equation is proposed to represent the kinetics of microbial growth , where ϕ and ψ depend on several parameters of the fermenting system. The values of ϕ and ψ were calculated based on results obtained in a batch lactic acid fermentation, a batch cultivation of yeast on diesel oil, and a continuous cultivation of yeast on sugarcane molasses.Keywords
