Abstract The inhibitory effect of butanol on yeast growth has been studied for the strain Candida utilis ATCC 8205 growing aerobically on butanol under batch conditions. A mathematical expression was then proposed to fit the kinetic pattern of butanol inhibition on the specific growth rate:\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \mu = \frac{{\mu _m S}}{{K_s + S}}\left[{1 - \frac{S}{{S_m }}} \right]^n $$\end{document}The maximum allowable butanol concentration above which cells do not grow was predicted to be 9.16g/L. The proposed model appears to accurately represent the experimental data obtained in this study and the literature data developed for a variety of batch culture systems at widely ranging substrate concentrations.
