Continuous ethanol production by a flocculent strain of Zymomonas mobilis

Cell retention and ethanol production using the flocculent bacterium Z. mobilis NRRL B-12526 were studied in 3 bioreactor configurations. The flocculent growth characteristic of this strain and a special reactor design were combined to achieve relatively high cell concentrations in a continuous bior...

Description
Summary:Cell retention and ethanol production using the flocculent bacterium Z. mobilis NRRL B-12526 were studied in 3 bioreactor configurations. The flocculent growth characteristic of this strain and a special reactor design were combined to achieve relatively high cell concentrations in a continuous bioreactor for the conversion of glucose to ethanol.
