Wash out (as defined by D = μmax) of a continuous stirred tank fermenter is characterized by (X = biomass, S = substrate concentration in bioreactor, S0 = substrate concentration in feed, P = product concentration in bioreactor).
A bacterial culture having a specific oxygen uptake rate of 5 mmol O2 (g DCW)-1 hr-1 is being grown aerobically in a fed-batch bioreactor. The maximum value of the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient is 0.18 s-1 for the stirred tank bioreactor and the critical dissolved oxygen concentration is 20% of the saturation concentration (8 mg mL-1). The maximum density to which the cells can be grown in the fed-batch process without the growth being limited by oxygen transfer, is approximately
