Abstract

With the progress of science and development of knowledge in mathematics, engineers try to find better ways of understanding the functioning of the metabolism of microorganism in order to use that knowledge to optimize processes, obtain valuable products, etc. Filamentous fungi, along with bacteria, are main producers of proteins, organic acids, antibiotics and other pharmaceutical agents. The aim of this work was to estimate parameters that affect oxygen consumpiton in fungal pellets. Along that route, oxygen profiles and a relationship between micromorphology and oxygen concentration profiles were shown. After that, consumption parameters were estimated in a single pellet model that can be used to predict the oxygen profile in pellets of which micromorphological information is available and to identify critical diameters.

Abstract (croatian)

S napretkom znanosti i razvojem znanja u matematici, inženjeri pokušavaju pronaći bolje načine razumijevanja funkcioniranja metabolizma mikroorganizama kako bi to znanje iskoristili za optimizaciju procesa, dobivanje vrijednih produkata i sl. Filamentozne gljive, uz bakterije, su glavni proizvođači proteina, organskih kiselina, antibiotika i drugih farmaceutskih sredstava. Cilj ovog rada bio je procijeniti parametre koji utječu na potrošnju kisika u fungalnim peletima. Na tom putu prikazani su profili kisika i odnos između mikromorfologije i profila koncentracije kisika. Nakon toga, parametri potrošnje procijenjeni su u modelu jednog peleta koji se može koristiti za predviđanje profila kisika u peletama o kojima su dostupni mikromorfološki podaci i za određivanje kritičnih promjera
