Kinetic and fluorometric behavior of a phenol fermentation

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The kinetic and fluorometric behavior ofPseudomonas putida (ATCC 17484) growing on phenol as the carbon limiting substrate was investigated. A model was developed to describe the behavior under dynamic conditions of flow or substrate concentration “shift-up”. Parameters contained in the model were estimated. It was observed that the model described the kinetic behavior reasonably well. Factors which affected the fluorescence output of the whole broth culture were also studied.
