This review article covers the topics of evaluation and experimental determination of oxygen mass transfer coefficients (kLa) for their application in characterising bioreactors and fermentations processes. The article provides a comparison of different experimental approaches for determining kLa in bioreactors. Additionally, the influence of bioreactor design and fermentation parameters on kLa is discussed. The aim of the article is to provide useful information regarding the approaches for selecting bioreactors and their working regimes to achieve optimal fermentation results.
