Example of balance calculation during dynamic experiment 

A glucose-limited continuous culture was grown aerobically at an initial dilution rate of 0.1 h and the dilution rate was then at time = 1.5 h shifted to 0.40 h , close to the maximum specific growth rate and far above the critical dilution rate [24]. Ethanol and acetic acid production immediately set in. The biomass concentration decreased due to products formation and to a transient imbalance between the growth rate and the dilution rate. 5.5 hours after the shift-up, and before the new steady state was reached, the dilution rate was decreased to 0.05 h . Cells started to grow on glucose and ethanol.
