Biomass specific oxygen uptake rate q _O2 in batch and feed phase. Balance-based mean uptake rate (= net uptake rate) for stirred tank compartment (STR, highlighted in green), plug flow compartment (PFR, highlighted in red) and full reactor volume (total) of C. glutamicum scale-down cultivation for reference experiment (REF, first bars in compartment groups), scale-down cultivation with τ = 45 s (TCR1, second bars), scale-down cultivation with τ = 87 s (TCR2, third bars), error bars indicate standard deviation over time (see Methods).
