The role of Mn++ ions for high and consistent yield of citric acid in recycling fed-batch bioreactor system and its novelty on kinetic basis

The present investigation deals with a novel technique for high and consistent yield of citric acid in a fed-batch bioreactor of 9-L working volume. Five different potent cultures of Aspergillus niger were evaluated for citrate production using clarified cane-molasses as basal substrate. Among the c...

Five different potent cultures of Aspergillus niger were evaluated for citrate production using clarified cane-molasses as basal substrate.

During recycling fed-batch cultivation, high and consistent yield of citric acid monohydrate (128.68 g/l) was obtained when the sampling vs. substrate feeding was maintained at 4-L (44.50% working volume).

MnSO4 at a level of 2.0 x 10-6 M, added during inoculation time optimised the commercial exploitation of molasses in recycling fed-batch cultivation system.
