Abstract

A strategy for feedback control of the glucose feed rate in cultivations of E.coli is discussed. By making probing pulses in the feedrate it is possible to detect and avoid undesirable by-productformation using a standard dissolved oxygen sensor. The feasibility of an improved and simplified probing algorithm is demonstrated by simulations as well as laboratory-scale experiments.
