Growth kinetics of Rhizopus arrhizus in solid state fermentation of treated cassava

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Summary

Growth kinetics of Rhizopus arrhizus MUCL 28168 were determined for different treatments of cassava during solid state fermentation. The best case gave a specific growth rate (μ) of 0.24 h-1, a yield calculated on a basis that oxygen consumption (Yx/o) was 2.9 g biomass. g-1 O2 consumed and the maintenance coefficient (m) was 0.004 g O2 consumed. g-1 biomass. h-1.
