Popis: 2-Keto-gluconic acid (2KGA) was produced in a semi-continuous process using Pseudomonas fluorescens AR4 and rice starch hydrolysate (RSH). The bacterium was cultured in medium with an initial glucose concentration of 170g/L supplied as RSH. Once the glucose level had dropped to 20g/L, 60% of the culture volume was replaced with fresh medium containing 190g/L of glucose in the form of RSH. After an additional two cycles of growth and media replacement, a total of 476.88g/L of glucose was consumed and 444.96g/L of 2KGA was produced. A total productivity of 6.74g/L and a yield of 0.93g/g were obtained. These findings suggest that P. fluorescens AR4 is suitable for the production of commercially acceptable levels of 2KGA in semi-continuous culture.
