This study proposes a fractal approach. From the time-domain profiles of key concentrations in a feed-batch fermentation, fractal dimensions have been computed. They serve as indicators of the effects of imperfect mixing and disturbances. Fractal dimensions are applicable to both intra- and extra-cellular variables, and include information on the internal metabolism and its interactions with the extra-cellular environment. date: 1999 date_type: published publication: Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry volume: 27 number: 3 pagerange: 175-178 refereed: TRUE issn: 0133-0276 citation: Patnaik, P R (1999) Fractal analysis of a recombinant fermentation with imperfect mixing and disturbances.
