摘要
Estimation of biomass concentration by on-line fluorimetry was examined during batch cultivation is of Alcaligenes eutrophus TC 17697, a poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) producer. The results obtained revealed a linear correlation between total culture fluorescence and total biomass concentration. The total fluorescence level was attributed to cellular fluorescence and to the fluoresence of compounds presumably produced by the cells and secreted into the culture medium. An increase in the specific cellular fluorescence during the course of the experiments indicated a shift in metabolism that favored the production of PHB.
