title: Application of a generalized logistic equation to simulate a fed-batch process.
abstract: The whole of fed-batch with two constant flow is successfully described by a generalized logistic equation. The research results show that (1) the adequacy of the simulation of the process depends to a considerable degree on the selection of simulated accuracy; (2) there is a quantitative relation between the specific growth rate of cells mu and the specific substrate consumption rate qs and content of RNA in microbial cells.
