Production of L(+)‐lactic acid from glucose and starch by immobilized cells of Rhizopus oryzae in a rotating fibrous bed bioreactor

Abstract: A rotating fibrous-bed bioreactor (RFB) was developed for fermentation to produce L(+)-lactic acid from glucose and cornstarch by Rhizopus oryzae. Fungal mycelia were immobilized on cotton cloth in the RFB for a prolonged period to study the fermentation kinetics and process stability. The pH and dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) were found to have significant effects on lactic acid productivity and yield, with pH 6 and 90% DO being the optimal conditions. A high lactic acid yield of 90% (w/w) and productivi… Show more

“…Lactic acid production decreases as medium pH decreases from 6.0 to 4.0. Therefore, neutralizing agents such as calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) are added into fermentation medium in order to prevent excessive pH drifts during lactic acid production [22][23][24].…”
