Abstract
In many bioreactions, the transport of nutrients to the cell surface and the removal of metabolites from the cell surface to the bulk of the medium are rate processes with time constants not much smaller than those of the cellular reactions. Therefore mass transfer must be included in an analysis of bioreactions alongside of stoichiometry and cellular kinetics.
