Yeast flocs are very fragile and cause problems when manipulations are needed. A new equipment for measuring kinetic and mass transfer parameters was developed and tested: the specific O2 uptake rate, qo2, was calculated for a highly flocculent strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its validation was confirmed by comparing the obtained kinetic parameters with data reported in literature.
