title: Sensitivity analysis of fed-batch fermentation for the production of penicillin G creator: Patnaik, P R subject: QR Microbiology description: The mixed metabolism model of Nicolaiet al. (1991) has been used to analyse the sensitivity of fed-batch fermentation for penicillin G with respect to four parameters. The cases of fully endogenous, fully maintenance and mixed metabolisms have been studied. Sensitivities with respect to two parameters,K x andK i, were much larger than for the other two. Differences between the three kinds of metabolism were sharpest forK p. The implications of both observations are discussed. publisher: Springer Science date: 1992 type: Article type: PeerReviewed relation: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF02438679 identifier: Patnaik, P R (1992) Sensitivity analysis of fed-batch fermentation for the production of penicillin G.
