abstract = {In large-scale bioreactors, gradients in cultivation
parameters such as oxygen, substrate, and pH result in
fluctuating cell environments. pH fluctuations were
identified as a critical parameter for bioprocess
performance. Traditionally, scale-down systems at the
laboratory scale are used to analyze the effects of
fluctuating pH values on strains and thus process
performance. Here, we demonstrate the application of dynamic
microfluidic single-cell cultivation (dMSCC) as a novel
scale-down system for the characterization of
Corynebacterium glutamicum growth using oscillating pH
conditions as a model stress factor. A detailed comparison
between two-compartment reactor (two-CR) scale-down
experiments and dMSCC was performed for one specific pH
oscillation between reference pH 7 (~8 min) and disturbed
pH 6 (~2 min). Similar reductions in growth rates were
observed in both systems (dMSCC $21\%$ and two-CR $27\%)$
compared to undisturbed cultivation at pH 7. Afterward,
systematic experiments at symmetric and asymmetric pH
oscillations, between pH ranges of 4–6 and 8–11 and
different intervals from 1 to 20 min, were performed to
demonstrate the unique application range and throughput of
the dMSCC system. Finally, the strength of the dMSCC
application was demonstrated by mimicking fluctuating
environmental conditions of a putative large-scale
bioprocess, which is difficult to conduct using two-CRs},
