Abstract
The effects of pH, temperature and concentration of citrate were investigated to achieve an optimal production of diacetyl, acetoin and C2 compounds such as acetaldehyde, acetate and ethanol for free and immobilized cells. The critical conditions of culture, 22°C, pH 4.8, increased the production of C4 compounds (diacetyl, acetoin, 2, 3 butylene glycol), C2 compounds (acetaldehyde, ethanol, acetate) and formate. A higher yield of C2 and C4 compounds was observed for the immobilized cells than for the free cells in continuous culture. At 75 mMol/l of citrate, the citrate bioconversion yield was 42.8% and 80% for free and immobilized cells, respectively. This paper discusses citrate and lactose utilization and NADH2 part on diacetyl reduction.
