“…The transformation of glucose to gluconic acid is an exothermic oxidizing reaction, but in the previous work with the small drums (7,9) and with bottles (4) no serious rise in temperature was experienced. However, in the large drum the heat generated was sufficient to raise the temperature of its contents to a value more than 10°C.…”

“…Previous work (4,7,9) showed that it was necessary to neutralize part of the gluconic acid formed during the fermentation process and that the rate of glucose conversion, as measured by the decrease of glucose in grams per 100 cc. per hour, was more rapid in the presence of undissolved calcium carbonate than when free acid was present.…”

“…Our first understanding of productivity was founded on the Gaden report published in 1959, and early efforts by Wells, Moyer and Gastrock (Moyer et al, 1937;Wells et al, 1937;Gastrock et al, 1938;Moyer et al, 1940) in the late 1930s to study the production of gluconic acid. Recently much progress has been made in improving antibiotic producers (Chater, 1990.;Lai et al, 1996;Lee & Rho, 1999;Haifeng & Kozo, 2001).…”

A novel functionalized micro-porous matrix was developed with well-controlled physicochemical proprieties such as pore size and surface chemistry. The matrix was used as a solid support in the growth of "Streptomyces coelicolor" A3(2) to enhance the production of antibiotics. The results shown support a higher production of prodigiosin and actinorhodin with overall production increase of 2-5 and 6-17, respectively, compared to conventional submerged liquid culture, offering a potential improvement in volumetric productivity. Scanning Electron Microscopy was used to evaluate pore size as well as bacterial adhesion, penetration, proliferation and migration within the micro-porous matrix.

“…HE production of dextrolactic acid [also known as sarcolactic acid or I(+)lactic acid] by Rhizopus oryzm when cultivated on the surface of glucose nutrient solutions was the subject of previous communications from this division (6,9). Surface cultivation gave 65 to 67 per cent yields of lactic acid in an incubation period of approximately 2 weeks.…”

The submerged cultivation of Rhizopus oryzae in rotary aluminum fermenters under stated conditions results in the fermentation of 13 per cent glucose solutions in 30 to 35 hours, with 70 to 75 per cent yields of dextrolactic acid. A carbon balance shows that, in addition to lactic acid and alcohol, an unidentified soluble material is produced equivalent to 7.4 per cent of the glucose consumed. Possible industrial advantages of this process are discussed.HE production of dextrolactic acid [also known as sarcolactic acid or I(+)lactic acid] by Rhizopus oryzm when cultivated on the surface of glucose nutrient solutions was the subject of previous communications from this division (6, 9). Surface cultivation gave 65 to 67 per cent yields of lactic acid in an incubation period of approximately 2 weeks. The present paper describes a process which involves the cultivation of this fungus in a submerged condition, whereby 13 per cent glucose solutions are fermented in 30 to 35 hours, with 70 to 75 per cent yields of d-lactic acid. This work is dependent on the use of the previously described rotary aluminum fermenters (4) which have also been employed as culture vessels to bring about the extremely rapid conversion of glucose to gluconic acid, using the organism Aspergillus niger (6, l l ) , and of sorbitol to sorbose, using the organism Acetobacter suboxydans (12). Materials and Methods TThe organism used in these studies was the previously described strain of Rhizopus oryzue Went and Geerligs (6), which was one of the best d-lactic said producers observed in the surface-growth studies. Although it is usually cultured on the surface of unagitated aedia, its growth and biochemical activity are enharxed when it is cultivated submerged under the favorable conditions described below.The culture of the organism in this work proceeded through the following three stages: (a) production ol' spores by growing on moist white bread for about 2 weeks, (b) germination of the spores in a glass bottle shaken during a period of 24 hours, and (c) the main fermentation, conducted in the rotary aluminum fermenters.The moist white bread cultures (one-half slice of bread in 200-cc. Erlenmeyer flasks) were inoculated from agar slants or from other bread cultures. After 5 to 6 days sporulation was profuse, and a t the age of about 2 weeks a portion of these spores was aseptically transferred to 50-75 cc. of sterile water and shaken to form a suspension, and a sample was removed to determine the spore concentration by means of a cytometer. A volume containing 420 million spores was then uised to inoculate 1.5 liters of germination medium. Usually this number of spores could be obtained from 5 to 10 cc. of spore suspension, and one bread culture would yield 5 to 10 billion spores.The germination medium had the following composition, in grams: Commercial glucose 110 KHzPO4 0.60 Urea 2 . 0 ZnSOa.7HzO 0.088 MgSO4.7HzO 0 . 2 5 CaCOa 10.0 Distilled water t o make 1000 oc.All of these components were sterilized together. The glucose was a commercial g...
