#Section 5: Bioprocess Engineering and Process Biotechnology

The growth of a microorganism on glucose is described by the Monod model (µmax = 0.7 h¹ and Ks = 0.1 g L¹). If the initial biomass concentration in the batch fermenter is 0.1 g L¹, the minimum time required to triple the biomass concentration would be
