A mathematical model for the batch culture of Clostridium acetobutylicum was formulated using experimental data for anaerobic solvent production. The model summarizes biochemical as well as physiological aspects of growth and metabolite synthesis by the production strain. The key fermentation rates are expressed and evaluated with regard to substrate consumption and butanol end-product inhibitory effects. Parametric sensitivity analysis of the batch process model was carried out, indicating the importance of the key process parameters.
