Oxygen transfer rates and gas holdups were measured in mycelial fermentation broths of Chaetomium cellulolyticum and Neurospora sitophila, each cultured in a 1300-L pilot-plant-scale airlift fermentor. These cultures exhibited highly non-Newtonian flow behavior coupled with a substantial decrease in oxygen transfer rates. The volumetric mass transfer coefficients in these cultures were found to be 65-70% lower than those in water. The data were compared with the available correlations obtained for simulated fermentation broths. In general, the data for C. cellulolyticum are in satisfactory agreement with the correlations for the model media but the data for N. sitophila are higher than that predicted by the correlations. Model media based correlations are found to be applicable to the fermentation processes if the culture medium does not possess a high yield stress.
