Abstract:
Bacterial growth, konjac powder utilization and -mannanase production by Bacillus licheniformis NK-27 in batch fermentation were used to develop a model of the process. The optimal set of parameters was estimated by fitting the model to experimental data. The results predicted by the model were in good agreement with the experimental data.
