Effects of inoculum level on kinetics of alcoholic fermentation

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Work on alcoholic fermentation has often been performed with different conditions of inoculation, and here we describe the influence of the inoculation level on yields and growth rate. Taken with previous results we suggest that there may be a growth inhibitor accumulated in fermentation broth which could be introduced with the inoculum in the fresh culture medium.
