- Abstract
The effect of glucose concentration on erythritol production by Torula sp. was investigated. The maximum volumetric productivity of erythritol was obtained at an initial glucose concentration of 300 g l -1 in batch culture. The volumetric productivity was maximal at a controlled glucose concentration of 225 g l -1, reducing the lag time of the erythritol production. A fed-batch culture was established with an initial glucose concentration of 300 g l -1 and with a controlled glucose concentration of 225 g l -1 in medium containing phytic acid as a phosphate source. In this fed-batch culture, a final erythritol production of 192 g l -1 was obtained from 400 g l -1 glucose in 88 h. This corresponded to a volumetric productivity of 2.26 g l -1 h -1 and a 48% yield. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2001) 26, 248–252.
