Abstract Kinetic, studies were made on continuous cultivation applying the theory of microbial cell growth that was derived previously by the authors introducing the concepts of critical concentration and coefficient of consumption activity. General equations for microbial cell concentration for continuous cultivation in continuous‐stirred tank and tubular type reactors were derived theoretically. Productivity of cell mass in continuous cultivation was analyzed kinetically and the behavior of mutant populations in continuous cultivation is briefly discussed.
