Summary
Aerobic batch cultures of Apple fruit cells were carried out using sucrose as the sole carbon source. The determination of the growth parameters was used in order to estimate the maintenance coefficient m and the maximum growth yield YG; their values at 25°C are respectively 0.32. 10-2 g sugar/g cell dry weight.h and 0.57 g cell dry weight/g sugar. Then, a mathematical expression of the cell growth is discussed, with respect to the specific growth rate evolution during cultivation.
