Abstract
L-Malic acid was produced efficiently from fumaric acid by Saccharomyc es cerevisiae SHY2. The amount of L-malic acid produced increased with the increase in initial fumaric acid concentration (from 20 to 120 g/ L). The average specific and volumetric production rates reached up to 0.708 g/g . h and 2.787 g/L . h, respectively, in 24 hours. Final L-m alic acid concentration of up to 109 g/L was obtained in 96 hours.
