Study on kinetics of ergosterol fermentation

Chin J Biotechnol. 1998;14(1):53-7.

Abstract

The kinetic relationships among the consumption of sucrose, production of ergosterol, formation of ethanol, and growth of yeast cells were studied. A two-stage kinetic model was established. The relative deviations between experimental data and simulated results were no more than 20%.
