title: A kinetics study on the production of alkaline proteinase by Bacillus licheniformis 2709.
abstract: With automatic control fermentation equipment, the kinetics of growth and metabolism of Bacillus licheniformis 2709 was studied with batch culture as well as with fed-batch-culture by controlling the concentration of the growth-limiting substrate. The Monod formula proved to be reasonable in describing the relationship between cell growth rate of B. licheniformis 2709 and the concentration of the growth-limiting substrate in the broth, and the data of product synthesis rate showed that the fermentation type belongs to one partially related to growth.
