Continuous acetic acid production by the bioreactor system loading a new ceramic carrier for microbial attachment
1991
We have developed a bioreactor system for aerobic fermentation, using a new ceramic carrier “APHROCELL” which has a suitable shape for liquid and gas passage. In acetic acid fermentation byAcetobacter cells from ethanol, as a typical example of aerobic fermentation, a productivity of 17.25 g/l h was attained at continuous production of 23 g-acetic acid/l; at an acetic acid concentration around 53 g/l, the productivity was 6.4 g/l h. Thus a marketable vinegar can be obtained continuously by this bioreactor system. Because of the simplicity of the APHROCELL reactor, scale up should be relatively easy.
