Abstract
Yeast flocs are very fragile and cause problems when manipulations are needed. A new equipment for measuring kinetic and mass transfer param eters was developed and tested: the specific O-2, uptake rate, q(O2), was calculated for a highly flocculent strain of Saccharomyces cerevis iae and its validation was confirmed by comparing the obtained kinetic parameters with data reported in literature.
