Figure 1

Simulation of economic productivity.

The plot depictures α-La fermentations at maximized productivity with yield per substrate, substrate compositions and economic return based on the substrate price per hour on the X, Y and Z axis respectively. The global maximum represents a fermentation, which converts the initial substrate into α-La worth 21.8 times the value of the starting material. The fermentation is simulated to take 11 hours and require the substrate to compose of 5% soybean and 95% sugar.
