Correlation of Redox Potential with State Variables in Cultures under Controlled Dissolved Oxygen Concentration and pH

Abstract

In batch cultures for L-ornithine production in which dissolved oxygen concentration and pH were closely controlled, time changes of redox potential were observed in connection with the profiles of cell, glucose, and ornithine concentrations. It was found that the redox potential profile had four different phases reflecting the physiological state of the culture and that it was closely related to cell concentration change. Effects of glucose and ornithine on the redox potential were identified in a separate series of experiments. On the basis of the experimental results, a correlation of redox potential to glucose, cell, and ornithine concentrations has been proposed. The proposed correlation can be used for on-line estimation of ornithine concentration from on-line data of redox potential, glucose concentration, and cell concentration.

MtgA Deletion-Triggered Cell Enlargement of Escherichia coli for Enhanced Intracellular Polyester Accumulation

“…In addition, disruption of competing pathways was also effective to improve the polymer production [ 17 ]. On the other hand, optimization of fermentation parameters such as pH, aeration rate etc, was useful to achieve high cell density and production per unit time [ 18 , 19 ]. These strategies for the metabolic and fermentation engineering of PHA producers were implemented either individually or in combination.…”

Mass Scale Hairy Root Cultivation of Catharanthus roseus in Bioreactor for Indole Alkaloid Production

“…Lee et al [63] observed correlations between redox potential (Eh) and glucose, cell and ornithine concentrations and proposed that these parameters could be applied for online measurements of Brevibacterium ketoglutamicum growth parameters and metabolite biosynthesis. Such indicators could also be considered for monitoring hairy roots growth.…”
