Use of a novel air separation system in a fed-batch fermentative culture of Escherichia coli

Year: 1989

Type: article

Abstract: A novel air separation system based on permeable membrane gas separation technology was used to cultivate Escherichia coli. The system fulfilled the dissolved oxygen requirements of a culture of E. coli grown on a glucose synthetic medium at a high and constant growth rate of 0.55 h-1. A biomass yield of 45 g (dry weight) per liter was achieved, and no by-product inhibition by acetate or CO2 was observed.
