Development of a structured model for biopolymer synthesis in the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans
Tóm tắt
Previous modelling of the pullulan fermentation is discussed and found to lack any mechanistic basis. It is concluded that predictive ability can only be conferred by a structured model with at least two “compartments”, based upon the best available knowledge of the physiology of the microorganism. Such a model is constructed and compared with experimental data.
