How to use the microbial respiration in the aerobic fermentation process: OUR, CER and RQ determination with Bionet’s bBreath

During fermentation, many phenomena related to cell metabolism take place. In the case of aerobic fermentation, the parameters related to respiration are direct indicators of the state of the culture. In aerobic fermentation, a certain amount of O2 is needed to oxidize a relative quantity of carbon source into CO2 and H2O to obtain energy and for biomass formation.
