✦ Synopsis

A combination of Fickian diffusion and Michaelii-Menten kinetics is proposed to describe the rate of diffusion-coupled biochemical reactions. This postulate leads to a nonlinear mathematical model which is solved by a perturbation technique. The result is a relation which permits identification of zones of relative diffusion or reaction influence. The conversion of cellulose to protein by Myrothecium verruearia is a heterogeneous process that is well-suited to this type of analysis, although the data requirements are severe.

A quick technique for determination of kinetic parameters of fermentation processes is proposed and applied to the transformation of D-xylose into ethanol by Pichia stipitis. The commonly used method to evaluate these parameters is based on achieving several steady states. In the proposed procedure,
