A: Schematic sketch of the chemostat cultivation set-up. A dip-pipe is adjusted to the required volume height. A bleed pump operated at higher pump speed than the feed pump ensures for a constant dilution rate (D). B: Model identification of the performed chemostat cultivations with a D of 1: 24%, 2: 39%, 3: 72% of the maximum specific growth rate (µ [h^-1])
