Notes:
The efficiency of L-lysine biosynthesis is essentially determined by the power input and aeration ratio in the stirred fermenter.A mass transfer model was developed by means of the results of lysine fermentations in four geometrically similar fermenters with working volumes of 10 1, 50 1, 100 1 and 2500 1 which allows the optimization of lysine fermentation from the energetical point of view. The usefullness of this kLa-model is demonstrated with an example where the power input for an unknown fermenter is calculated.
