Abstract
Pellets of Penicillium chrysogenum which were spontaneously formed after a certain stage of a batch fermentation, displayed a considerable structural change in course of their lifetime. Microelectrode studies showed the internal mass transport properties of these pellets (diameter 1-3 mm) to be highly effected by their morphological structure. Relatively young pellets, in an early stage of the batch fermentation, possessed a homogeneous and dense structure. These pellets were only partly penetrated by oxygen (ca. 70 μm) at air saturated bulk conditions. Older pellets, in a final stage of the batch fermentation, were stratified and fluffy. They were completely penetrated by oxygen due to a decreased activity and a higher diffusivity. Investigations with glucose microelectrodes revealed that glucose consumption inside pellets of all lifetimes exclusively occurred in the periphery, indicating that growth was restricted to these regions only.
