The Dilution Rate (D) and the continuous fermentation ...
Oct 18, 2018· The dilution rate (D), usually in units per hour (h −1), describes the relationship between the flow of medium into the bioreactor (F), that can be expressed in L·h −1, and culture volume within the bioreactor (V) in L. Residence time (t) is the inverse of the dilution rate and is also related to the reactor volume and flow rate:
