Engineering -physiological analysis of transient states in continuous culture of Candida utilis.Peer-reviewed article

D. VRANÁ, J. VOTRUBA, I. HAVLÍK, M. SOBOTKA

The cyclic continuous culture of Candida utilis was used for a simulation of feeding disturbances and nonideal miking on physiological state of microbial culture. It was found that by the transient substrate limitation in cyclic continuous culture the protein content in biomass was mostly influenced. Mean volume and surface of cells have not been changed by cyclic substrate feeding strategy. The starvation caused by stopping in substrate feed has the long-term effect on the relative age distribution of the population.
