[Distributed automatic control system for experiments on the cultivation of microorganisms].

Hard- and software of a distributed system for computer control of experiments on cultivation of microorganisms is described. The system is based on microprocessor techniques and minicomputer CM-4(1420). It provides intensification of microbiological studies due to rational management of experiments, accumulation and long-term storage of experimental data and their processing with specific algorithms for providing additional information on biosynthetic processes and optimization of fermentation conditions.
