Generalizing results from fungal fermentations is difficult due to their high sensitivity toward slight variation in starting conditions, poor reproducibility, and difference in strains. In this study a mathematical model is presented in which oxygen transfer, agitation intensity, dissolved oxygen tension, pellet size, formation of mycelia, the fraction of mycelia in the total biomass, carbohydrate source consumption, and biomass growth are taken into account. Two parameters were estimated from simulation, whereas all others are based on measurements or were taken from literature. Experimental data are obtained from the fermentations in both 2 L and 100 L fermentors at various conditions. Comparison of the simulation with experiments shows that the model can fairly well describe the time course of fungal growth (such as biomass and carbohydrate source concentrations) and fungal morphology (such as pellet size and the fraction of pellets in the total biomass). The model predicts that a stronger agitation intensity leads to a smaller pellet size and a lower fraction of pellets in the total biomass. At the same agitation intensity, pellet size is hardly affected by the dissolved oxygen tension, whereas the fraction of mycelia decreases slightly with an increase of the dissolved oxygen tension in the bulk. All of these are in line with observations at the corresponding conditions.
