Abstract
Two methods have been investigated for the measurement of dissolved oxygen in fermentations: the tubing method and the probe method. The sensing elements for both methods are steamβsterilizable and measure only the oxygen tension in the liquid phase. The tubing method is probably the most accurate and reliable method available for measurement of dissolved oxygen in fermentations but it requires extensive ancillary apparatus.

Agitation speed affects both the extent of motion in Xanthan fermentation broths because of their rheological complexity and the rate of oxygen transfer. The combination of these two effects causes the dissolved oxygen concentration and its spatial uniformity also to change with agitator speed. Sepa
