Growth rate of Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3589 was observed in a fermentation medium consisting of peptone, yeast extract, sodium chloride. Logistic equation was fitted to the growth data (time vs. biomass concentration) and compared with the prediction given by Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). ANN was found to be superior in describing growth characteristics. A single MATLAB programme is developed to fit the growth data by logistic equation and ANN
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
