Table 4 Equations for calculating important performance metrics of the continuous production

From: Continuous process technology for bottom-up synthesis of soluble cello-oligosaccharides by immobilized cells co-expressing three saccharide phosphorylases

Performance parameter

Space velocity (SV; h− 1)

Space-time yield

(STY; g/L/h)

Total turnover number

(TTN; gCOS/gCDW)

Equation

\(SV=\frac{\nu }{V}=\frac{1}{\tau }\)

\(STY={c}_{G2-G6}\times SV\)

\(TTN=\frac{SV\times V\times t\times {c}_{G2-G6}}{m}\)

  1. v was the flow rate, V was the reactor volume, Ï„ was the residence time, c was the sum of the product concentrations (g/L) of G2 to G6, t was the operation time in hours, m was the mass of applied dry cells.
