The performance of the proposed estimator and the substrate strategy are illustrated for the delta-endotoxin production of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) in batch and fed batch cultures. Nonlinear filtering techniques constitutes an adequate option as estimation tool because of the strongly nonlinear dynamics of this bioprocess and also due to nature of the uncertainties and perturbations that cannot be supposed Gaussians distributed. Biomass estimation is performed from substrate and dissolved oxygen. Substrate feeding strategy is intended to obtain high product concentration. Simulations results along with their experimental verifications demonstrate the acceptable performance of the proposed biomass estimator and the substrate feeding strategy.enghttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/2194-5748articlebiomass estimationnonlinear filteringBayes theoryfed batch processsubstrate feeding strategy2021-04-12Amicarelli, A.Montoya, L.Q.Sciascio, F.D.10.1515/ijcre-2015-0182
