C. Oniscu et al., CORRELATION BETWEEN THE BIOMASS CONCENTRA TION-RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR-DISSOLVED OXYGEN FOR PENICILLIUM-CHRYSOGENUM SUSPENSIONS, Revista de chimie, 47(6), 1996, pp. 524-528
In the paper a study about the correlation existing between the P. Chr
ysogenum mycelium concentration - flow behaviour of suspension - the o
xygen amount dissolved in the fermentation broth, is reported. The obt
ained results evidenced a strong non-Newtonian behaviour of plastic Bi
ngham type, for mycelium concentration over 5 g/l, the relationship be
tween the yield stress and P. Chrysogenum concentration being: t(o) =
0,21 . C-x The influence of the temperature on the apparent viscosity
was studied too.
