Calculation of fermentation parameters from the results of a batch test taking account of the volume of biomass in the fermenting medium.
The values of fermentation parameters calculated from the measured concentrations of substrates and/or products may be significantly affected by the volume of biomass in the fermenting medium. Corrections proposed in this paper should be evaluated and, depending on their magnitude, considered in order to obtain more representative results.
