✦ Synopsis

The usefulness and uses of an equation which would describe the interrelations among the various products and biomass in fermentations of butyric acid bacteria are discussed. Such a fermentation equation is then derived based on the bacterial biochemistry and general biological regularities. The equation obeys all the constraints of the biochemical topology and thermodynamics. The validity of the equation is demonstrated using experimental data from the literature. The equation is potentially valuable as a predictive and process-control tool in a wide variety of fermentations of butyric-acid bacteria.
