Abstract

A model of broth pH has been established based upon the mineral requirements of the microorganism, the substrate consumption and the metabolites production. It has been tested on acetic acid, citric acid and yeast fermentations. It has then been used to predict the mineral composition of the feed for fedbatch growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
