✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Oxygen transfer has been studied in the Pseudomonas ovalis fermentation that quantitatively converts glucose into gluconic acid. The rate of oxygen uptake by this system was correlated with aeration rates and agitator speeds over wide ranges of these variables, by the introduction of a liquid expansion term. The technique described provides a biological method for studying oxygen transfer in the P. ovalis system; its general principles can be applied to other fermentations.

A rapid and internally consistent technique has been developed to measure the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, k ~a , i n fermentation systems. The method consists of tracing the dissolved 0 2 concentration of the fermentation broth during a short interruption of the aeration. The O2 concentr
The volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, KLa, is one of the most important parameters in the scaleup of aerobic fermentation processes. It is a measure of the gas-liquidoxygen transfer performance of a given fermentor. Because of the involvement of oxygen in the metabolic energy supply, the KLa v
