Specific product formation rate
The specific product formation rate - symbol k P (dimension h −1 ) - is a key figure for describing fermentation processes . It describes the product formation per unit of time, based on the unit of mass of the product-forming biomass x :
The specific rate of product formation depends on exogenous and endogenous influences such as temperature, pH value , substrate concentration, regulation of metabolism, etc.
