Modeling of Clostridium tyrobutyricum for Butyric Acid Selectivity in Continuous Fermentation

A mathematical model was developed to describe batch and continuous fermentation of glucose to organic acids with Clostridium tyrobutyricum. A modified Monod equation was used to describe cell growth, and a Luedeking-Piret equation was used to describe the production of butyric and acetic acids. Usi...
