kLa based scale-up cultivation of the extremophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius: from benchtop to pilot scale

The two major scale-up criteria in continuously stirred bioreactors are 1) constant aerated power input per volume (Pg/Vl), and 2) the volumetric O2 mass transfer coefficient (kla). However, Pg/Vl is only influenced by the stirrer geometry, stirrer speed, aeration and working volume, while the kla i...
