<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Excess turbulence caused by high‐intensity stirring inhibited microbial growth and metabolism. In stirred tank bioreactors, the growth rate and lysine biosynthesis decreased in <jats:italic>Brevibacterium flavum</jats:italic> beyond 900 rpm, the growth rate of <jats:italic>Trichoderma reesei</jats:italic> on wheat straw beyond 150 rpm, and the growth rate of <jats:italic>Saccharomyces cerevisae</jats:italic> beyond 800 rpm. The term <jats:italic>turbohypobiosis</jats:italic> was introduced to describe this inhibition. Turbohypobiosis was characterized by a stress factor <jats:italic>F</jats:italic><jats:sub>str</jats:sub> expressing the interaction of medium flow with microbial cells in local turbulent zones, dependent on the energy distribution of the stirring regime. Lysine synthesis was inhibited at significantly lower <jats:italic>F</jats:italic><jats:sub>str</jats:sub> values than the growth of <jats:italic>B. flavum.</jats:italic> The main reason for the inhibition was shear effects causing decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation, lower O<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> uptake, and lower specific growth rate of bacteria.</jats:p>
