Abstract:
It was the first time to study elastase batch cultivation kinetics. This paper discusses the growth kinetics, elastase production, and substrate consumption kinetics model of Bacillus sp. EL31410 in batch cultivation. A simple model was proposed using a logistic equation for growth, the Luedeking-Piret equation for elastase production, and the Luedeking-Piret-like equation for glucose consumption. The model appeared to provide a reasonable description for each parameter during the growth phase. This study could provide some support for studying elastase fermentation kinetics, especially for studying its singular growth phenomenon. However, the model for elastase production is not good for explaining the real process and is still up to research.
