Preferred Label : dilution rate;
Detailed label : dilution rate in biotechnology, D;
IUPAC definition : The ratio of the ingoing volume flow rate (dV/dt) and the culture volume (V). In continuous
fermentation, a measure of a rate at which the existing medium is replaced with fresh
medium, D is the reciprocal of the hydraulic retention time (HRT).;
