Abstract:
The turnover characteristics of a microbial bioreactor were comparatively investigated as a closed (batch) and a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) open system, using a 2-1 fermentor. Corynebacterium glutamicum (ATCC 21544) was chosen as the microorganism since it has the ability to produce L-lysine. Parameters measured were L-lysine production rates, glucose consumption rates and biomass production rates as a function of dilution rate, bioreactor volume and biomass concentration. The modes of microbial cell behaviour under steady-state and transition-state conditions were examined. Investigations on scaling properties of the CSTR system were also aimed at comparing scaling or allometry of metabolic rates in organisms that are also open energy dissipative systems.
