Model aided dynamic process analysis and optimization for the nourseothricin fermentation

Abstract
The relation between product formation and growth kinetics could be characterized by 2 parameters. The specific product formation rate depends on the aging of the population and on the specific growth rate. This relation was formulated and quantified by a mathematical model, which was fitted to experimental data of a representative fermentation run and used to predict an optimal fermentation mode. Cyclic fed batch fermentation is optimal.
