- axi= (Xi−X0)/∆Xi; where xi and Xi are the coded and real values of the independent variable i, X0 is the real value of the independent variable i at the central point, and ∆Xi is the step change value. bAeration = 1 − (Vc/Ve); volume ratio of culture medium in mL (Vc) in a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask (Ve)
