Abstract
For β-galactosidase production by a recombinant strain of Escherichia coli, fractal dimensions have been computed for two intra-cellular and two extra-cellular variables under three kinds of Guassian noise. The fractal dimensions changed significantly with both fluid mixing and noise, indicating their usefulness as discriminating indexes to optimize mixing intensity and filtering of inflow noise.
