Sterile glucose solution prepared by a microporous membrane bioreactor for continuous culture

Abstract

Glucose solution produced in a new bioreactor with cross-flow filtration by a microporous membrane was used for continuous fermentation using Pseudomonas aeruginosa KYU-1. The membrane filtered out enzyme immobilized on corn stover for recycling. No contaminants were observed in the glucose solution by enrichment culture of the sample solution and no foreign microorganisms were detected throughout the culture.
