-
The analysis of the mycelial growth of Aspergillus niger is analyzed via a structured kinetic model of the reduced metabolic network.
Numerical solution of the model describes the transients of mycelial growth.
The model considers the simultaneous production of cofactors like ATP, NAD+ and NADP+ during mycelial growth.
The impact of a second carbon source in the metabolism is analyzed.
Interactions between growth kinetics and mass transport in gaseous and solid phases is analyzed.
