Notes:
The effective means of microbial culture monitoring is the measurement of low-inertial parameters (respiration rate, rates of supply of alkali for pH maintenance and the limiting substrate) and utilization of computer on line with fermenter for recalculation of these rates into the instant values of mass and energy cell yields, specific rates of cell growth and substrate and oxygen consumption, using the method of mass-energy balance. In this paper, the equations of mass-energy balance are presented both in general form and in the form of numerical algorythms for computer programming.The installation for automation of microbial cultivation experiment is described. Experimental data are presented which indicate the effectiveness of the method of indirect measurement of cell biomass yield and specific rates of physiological processes.
