This article presents a simple, unstructured math. model describing microbial growth in continuous culture limited by a gaseous substrate. The model predicts const. gas conversion rates and a decreasing biomass concn. with increasing diln. rate. The parame ...
Curing kinetics of commercial polycarbosilane have been measured using differential scanning calorimetry in air between 140 and 220 degrees C. It was found that the total heat of curing increases linearly with temperature. At constant temperature, the rate ...
In addn. to online detection of events in biotechnol., calorimetry could be used to control processes. In the latter case, a correct and instantaneous heat signal must be available. This would be possible only if a correct evaluation of baseline evolution ...
A simple definition of the energetic growth efficiency both in terms of enthalpy and free energy is given and discussed. In cultures growing by respiratory catabolism, these efficiencies may conveniently be obsd. online by isothermal reaction calorimetry. ...
Synchronized oscillating cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 426 exhibit periodic oxidoreductive metab. The changing metab. is detectable by in situ heat-flux calorimetry in the BSC 81, which was operated as a chemostat in these expts. The measured me ...
Chemostat cultures of an aerobic fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and an aerobic respiring yeast (Kluyveromyces fragilis) were grown under dual C + N limitation in an isothermal reaction calorimeter. The dual limitations resulted in uncoupled ox ...
A review with 48 refs. The topics discussed include mass and energy balances for open and non-steady state systems, calcn. of reaction enthalpies, and enthalpy balance in aerobic and anaerobic growth. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
A review with 75 refs. of calorimetric techniques used and results obtained in calorimetric expts. aimed at developing quant. relation between heat release and other important process parameters for potential use in monitoring and controlling tech. bioproc ...
The heat capacity of glaucophane from the Sesia-Lanza region of Italy having the approximate composition (Na1.93Ca0.05Fe0.02) (Mg2.60Fe0.41) (Al1.83 Fe0.15Cr0.01) (Si7.92Al0.08)O22(OH)2 was measured by adiabatic calorimetry between 4.6 and 359.4 K. After c ...
A procedure has been developed for the prepn. of microbial biomass of std., defined quality suitable for the detn. of elemental compn. and enthalpy of combustion. Furthermore methods for the detn. of residual moisture and ash content of biomass samples hav ...
