V. Guillou et al., ONLINE SENSITIVE LIGHTNESS MEASUREMENT OF CELL MASS IN SACCHAROMYCES-CEREVISIAE CULTURE, Biotechnology techniques, 10(1), 1996, pp. 19-24
An industrial spectrophotometer was used as a very accurate on-line bi
omass sensor to investigate fast dynamic changes in yeast culture in t
he range of 0.5-5 g/l. High sensitive variation in biomass concentrati
on of 0.015 g/l was detected A fast dynamic response is induced in a s
teady state continuous culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by an aceta
te pulse and biomass concentration profile clearly determined by this
sensor.
