Abstract
An ebb-and-flow bioreactor (EFBR) hold-up simulation model for `hairy' roots was earlier proposed by Cuello (1994). In this study, by experimentally determining the water characteristic curve for Hyoscyamus muticus `hairy root' culture, the proposed model was implemented and was validated using a segmented EFBR (SEFBR). The water characteristic curve was determined at an average porosity of 88%, whereas the SEFBR had an average porosity of 77%. The simulated dynamic average hold-up profiles and the simulated dynamic spatial hold-up distribution produced generally acceptable error of less than 10%.
