From: Existence of a scaling relation in continuous cultures of Scheffersomyces stipitis: the steady states are completely determined by the ratio of carbon and oxygen uptake rates

Fig. 4

Variation of the dimensionless concentrations of a biomass, b ethanol, c dissolved oxygen and residual glucose with the dimensionless operating parameter ρ. The different symbols represent data obtained at various kla and D, i.e., kla = 50 h−1 and D =  0.07 h−1 (yellow), 0.10 h−1 (blue), 0.15 h−1 (green), 0.20 h−1 (violet); and kla = 100 h−1 and D = 0.1 h−1 (red). The lines represent the model predictions from Eqs. (36), (37) with the experimentally determined yields shown in Table 1, and the shaded regions represent ± 20% deviation from the model predictions
