Fig. 2
Time course of overall biomass, glucose and rhamnolipid masses (sum of bioreactor and integral foam fractions) during foam fractionation process. a shows results of bioreactor cultivations using Wilms medium setup, b shows results of bioreactor cultivations using ModR medium setup. The values for biomass (black circles), glucose (grey triangles) and rhamnolipid (blank squares) are given as mean values of two bioreactor cultivations. Dotted, solid black and solid grey lines represent the logistic fit functions of the rhamnolipid, biomass and glucose time course, respectively based on Eq. 1
