A bioenergetic model of a mixed production fermentation

A bioenergetic model has been developed for the fermentation of glucose by Bacillus polymyxa. This model uses energy balances to determine which pathways are utilized by the substrate. The model can predict substrate consumption, biomass formation, and the product distribution for this fermentation....

Description
Summary:A bioenergetic model has been developed for the fermentation of glucose by Bacillus polymyxa. This model uses energy balances to determine which pathways are utilized by the substrate. The model can predict substrate consumption, biomass formation, and the product distribution for this fermentation. The products are carbon dioxide, water, 2,3‐butanediol, and ethanol, where ethanol represents lumped anaerobic products.
