S. cerevisiae ATCC 24858을 이용한 ethanol 생산에서, aeration 효과를 ethanol 수율, specific ethanol production rate, ethanol 생산성 측면에서 분석하여, 반복 유가식 공정전략을 설계하였다. Ethanol 수율과 ethanol 생산성은 공기를 0.33 vvm 넣었을 때, 공기를 넣지 않고 배양한 것에 비하여 더 큰 값을 보였고, 24시간 마다 배지를 교체한 배양이 36시간 마다 배지를 교체한 배양 보다 더 큰 값을 보였다. 총 ethanol 생산량 값이 가장 큰 경우는 0.33 vvm의 공기를 넣고, 배지를 24시간마다 완전히 갈아주었을 때이고, 이때 가장 많은 703.8 g의 ethanol이 생산되었다.
We designed the optimal operational strategy in repeated fed-batch ethanol fermentation using Sacchromyces cerevisiae ATCC 24858 in views of ethanol yield, specific ethanol production rate, and ethanol productivity, when the aeration rate were controlled at 0.0 and 0.33 vvm. Coincidentally, the time intervals of withdrawal-fill of culture medium (24 and 36 h) were investigated. Ethanol yield and ethanol productivity when the aeration was carried out at 0.33 vvm were superior to those when the aeration was not carried out. Additionally, those parameters when the time interval of withdrawal-fill of culture medium was 24 h were superior to those when time interval of withdrawal-fill of culture medium was 36 h. The total ethanol production reached at the greatest value, 703.8 g-ethanol, when the aeration was carried out at 0.33 vvm and the time interval of withdrawal-fill of culture medium was 24 h. In this study, we verified experimentally the necessity of designing the operational strategy for increasing ethanol production in terms of aeration rate and time interval of withdrawal-fill of culture medium in the repeated fed-batch ethanol fermentation.
