Summary
For continuous cultures at elevated pressures an airlift fermenter (10 1) has been developed. It has been tested by cultivating the yeast Candida utilis at aerobic conditions. With higher pressure (from 1.5 bars to 7.0 bars absolute) the consumption of substrate per unit biomass is increased.
