Kinetic Pseudohomogeneous Modeling of Mycelial Filamentous Growth Including Photosynthesis

8 Kinetic Pseudohomogeneous Modeling of Mycelial Filamentous Growth Including Photosynthesis 

The different dependence of k and /c2 s is shown in Fig. 5.37. With increasing s, the density of the colonies, which depends on the branching rate /c25 decreases faster than the radial growth rate this can be interpreted in connection with the regulation of transport of metabolites within the hyphae. Cellular differentiation and the connection to product formation in molds was elaborated from Megee et al. (1970). 

The growth of fungi has been reviewed by Prosser (1982), and growth of photosynthetic microorganisms has been summarized by Aiba (1982) and by Pirt et al. (1983) together with production in tubular photobioreactors. An unstructured model of algal growth has been developed by ten Hoopen et al. (1980) based on the Monod equation.
