Antimycin A fermentation. II. Fermentation in aerated-agitated fermenters.
Fermentation characteristics, previously studied in shake flasks, were reproduced in aerated-agitated fermenters, using three strains of Streptomyces sp. which had been selected for their high antimycin A productivity in shake flasks. Fermentation in fermenters was run in three stages. The medium consisted of soy flour, glucose, ammonium sulfate and calcium carbonate; initial pH was 7.2 approxi...
متن کاملCfd Simulation of Gluconic Acid Production in a Stirred Gas-liquid Fermenter
Designing large-scale stirred bioreactors with performance closely matching the one achieved in lab-scale fermenters presents continuous challenge. In this contribution, dynamic modelling of the aerobic biocatalytic conversion process in viscous batch stirred tank reactor is developed. Its operation is illustrated by simulation of the interaction of fluid flow, mass transfer and reaction releva...
متن کاملDetermination of the decay exponent in mechanically stirred isotropic turbulence
Direct numerical simulation is used to investigate the decay exponent of isotropic homogeneous turbulence over a range of Reynolds numbers sufficient to display both high and low Re number decay behavior. The initial turbulence is generated by the stirring action of the flow past many small randomly placed cubes. Stirring occurs at 1/30th of the simulation domain size so that the low-wavenumber...
متن کاملOn-Line Measurement of Dissolved Methane Concentration During Methane Fermentation in a Loop Bioreactor
A dissolved methane sensor based on silicone tube was designed, constructed and optimized.The silicone tube diameter, silicone tube length and helium flow rate (as the carrier gas(were considered as process parameters to be optimized.A continuous stream of helium (50 mL/min) was directed through the tubing, sweeping out the...
متن کاملContinuous Fermentation to Produce Xanthan Biopolymer : Laboratory Investigation
Xanthan biopolymer has been produced by single-stage continuous ferment~ tion with Xanthomonas campestris NRRL B-1459 in a medium of glucose, minerals, distillers' solubles, and urea for as long as 20 days. At the highest dilution rate studied (D = 0.0285 hr-1), the steady state rate of xanthan production was 0.36 g/kg/hr and ·the steady state yield, basis glucose consumed, was 68%. Observation...
