Characterization of a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens fermentation for a fed-batch strategy using the Bionet’s bBreath exhaust gas analyzer

For aerobic fermentation processes, oxygen and carbon dioxide off–gas measurement allows a better characterization and a tool for process optimization, enabling new methods for the control process. In the present work, a fermentation process in fed-batch mode at bench–top scale for the production of the bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was performed using a Bionet F0–BABY and the exhaust gas analyzer bBreath to obtain valuable information of the culture.
