Notes:
The effect of partial recycle of microbial cells on the operation of a chemostat has been investigated for two fermentations. Stable steady states without partial cell recycle were obtained for the conversion of D-sorbitol to L-sorbose by Gluconobacter oxydans subsp. suboxydans 1916B and for the conversion of glucose to 2-ketogluconic acid by Serratia marcescens NRRL B-486. The employment of partial cell recycle dramatically increased product formation rates for both fermentations.
