The application of cell recycle to continuous fermentative lactic acid production

A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) with cell recycle was used to produce lactic acid from glucose using Lactobacillus delbreuckii NRRL-B445. A volumetric productivity of 76 gm/l-h was obtained with an effluent concentration of 35 gm/l lactic acid and a residual glucose concentration of less th...

Description
Summary:A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) with cell recycle was used to produce lactic acid from glucose using Lactobacillus delbreuckii NRRL-B445. A volumetric productivity of 76 gm/l-h was obtained with an effluent concentration of 35 gm/l lactic acid and a residual glucose concentration of less than 0.02 gm/l.
