A fast physical method is used to measure oxygen solubilities in various solutions of sugars and salts, in nutrition media, and in fermentation broths of Penicillium chrysogenum . The findings were compared with the predictions of a solubility model which assumes that the solubility reduction is log‐additive with respect to various compounds (mainly sugars and electrolytes). A striking agreement between experimental results and predictions was found.
