  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The inhibitory effect of butanol on yeast growth has been studied for the strain <jats:italic>Candida utilis</jats:italic> ATCC 8205 growing aerobically on butanol under batch conditions. A mathematical expression was then proposed to fit the kinetic pattern of butanol inhibition on the specific growth rate: <jats:disp-formula> </jats:disp-formula></jats:p><jats:p>The maximum allowable butanol concentration above which cells do not grow was predicted to be 9.16g/L. The proposed model appears to accurately represent the experimental data obtained in this study and the literature data developed for a variety of batch culture systems at widely ranging substrate concentrations.</jats:p>
