title: Feasibility and uniqueness of stationary states of nonideal recombinant fermentations creator: Patnaik, P R subject: QD Chemistry description: Summary In recombinant fermentations the plasmid loss probability per generation depends on the specific growth rate, which is related linearly to the dilution rate. A model with this feature and incomplete mixing has been studied analytically for stationary state behavior. While the kinetic parameters place upper limits on the dilution rate for a feasible stationary state in a well-mixed bioreactor, the feasible and nonfeasible regions for an incompletely mixed reactor are separated by either a straight line or a plane, whose position is determined by the mixing conditions. publisher: Springer Science+Business Media B.V. date: 2005 type: Article type: PeerReviewed relation: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11144-006-0003-9 identifier: Patnaik, P R (2005) Feasibility and uniqueness of stationary states of nonideal recombinant fermentations.
