Figure 3: Rheological properties for the liquid culture broth evolution of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora growth monoxenically in a bioreactor: (a) Flow behaviour index n [-] and (b) Flow consistency index K [Pa·sn].Filling in circles refers to a specific experiment: ( ) E1, ( ) E2 and ( ) E3. Data were estimated using a helical ribbon agitator fixed to a rheometer and applying mixer principles. In all cases the circle size is related to the average of the alive nematode concentration (Cn) counted before shearing (The smallest data range is: ( ) Cn< 1, and the biggest one ( ) Cn>200 thousands of nematodes, respectively).
