What is Closure Effects on Oxygen Transfer and Aerobic Growth in Shake Flasks about?

## Abstract Oxygen mass transfer in shake flasks is an important aspect limiting the culture of aerobic microorganisms. In this work, mass transfer of oxygen through a closure and headspace of shake flasks is investigated. New equations for prediction of __k__~G~__a__ in shake flasks with closures are introduced. Using __Pseudomonas putida__, microbial growth on glucose (fast metabolism) and phenol (slow metabolism) in shake flasks with closures were studied, considering both substrate and oxygen restrictions. A combined model for oxygen mass transfer and microbial growth is shown to accurately predict experimental oxygen concentrations and oxygen yield factors during growth experiments more accurately than previous models. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
