Abstract
The possible durability of non-axenic fermentation profiles is of majo r importance in controlled environmental biotechnology. The durability of the non-axenic anaerobic fermentation profile of a model mixture o f D(+)-glucose and L(-)-sodium monoglutamate was documented in a fabri cated bioreactor for a period of more than 6 months. A cyclic scheme o f reactor loading induced a cyclic, reproducible and durable fermentat ion profile. Equimolar amounts of n-butyric acid as well as acetic aci d, and of H-2 and CO2 were observed as steady metabolites.
