critical dissolved oxygen concentration
The lowest possible concentration of oxygen in a *bioreactor or biological system below which oxygen becomes the limiting substrate for growth. Under normal operating conditions, the level of oxygen supplied must be sufficient to ensure that the microorganisms are able to function metabolically. A d...

| Summary: | The lowest possible concentration of oxygen in a *bioreactor or biological system below which oxygen becomes the limiting substrate for growth. Under normal operating conditions, the level of oxygen supplied must be sufficient to ensure that the microorganisms are able to function metabolically. A dissolved oxygen electrode is used to monitor the level of dissolved oxygen in the medium to ensure that sufficient oxygen is being supplied, which is usually in the form of sparged bubbles of air or oxygen... |
