Increased oxygen transfer in a yeast fermentation using a microbubble dispersion
The use of a microbubble dispersion (MBD) for oxygen transport in a yeast fermentation was studied. No surfactants were added to the fermentations; the microbubbles were formed using only the surfactants naturally produced by the yeast. The growth rate of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture was …

Utilization of a Microbubble Dispersion to Increase Oxygen Transfer in Pilot-Scale Baker's Yeast Fermentation Unit
… stress and caused high power consumption. A microbubble dispersion (MBD) method was investigated to improve oxygen transfer at low agitation rates and thus reduce power consumption and shear stress on the microorganisms. The experiments were conducted at the 1-liter level and subsequently …

Scale-Up the Use of a Microbubble Dispersion to Increase Oxygen Transfer in Aerobic Fermentation of Baker's Yeast
A microbubble dispersion (MBD) was used to supply oxygen for an aerobic fermentation of Baker's yeast. The 1-liter microbubble dispersion generator supplied bubbles for 20-liter and 50-liter working volume fermentations in a 72-liter pilot scale fermenter. The microbubbles were stabilized by the …
