Non-structured Kinetic Model for the Cell Growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a Batch Culture

Abstract

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is known as the most widely used eukaryotic microorganism for biological studies. In present study, cell growth profile of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a batch submerged culture was evaluated with three different non-structured kinetic models. Fitness assessment of experimental data on cell growth by models was performed using the curve-fitting tool in Excel and Mat-lab software. Obtained results showed Verhulst kinetic model with R equal to 0.97 was the most 2
