✦ Synopsis

The unique description of the dependences of the specific consumption coefficients on the process state known from the literature is an important prerequisite to the further increasc of the intensity and cfficicnry of the process for the industrial protein synthesis. Suitable measuring quantities for it are entropy production, an important quantity of therniodynamics of irreversible processes, and differential hcat flow which can be measured by microcalorimetry.

The description of the dependences of consumption coefficients by thermodynaniics of irreversible processes allows an ingenious statement of calorimetric measurements of the ferment,ltion process to confirm and to make precise the knowledge deduced from thermodynamics.

Thermodynamical considerations and calorimetric nieaurements are used to describe the dependences of consumption coefficients on substrate concentration, nature of limitation, aiid periodical perturbations of the process.
