Abstract
A batch fermentation process for lipase production with the recombinan t strain Staphylococcus carnosus (pLipMut2) was studied in a bubble co lumn. The rates of growth and lipase production in this type of fermen ter were compared with results from shake-flasks. It was seen that cul tivation in the bubble column resulted in a prolonged lag time and a r educed lipase activity in comparison to flask cultures. However, by ad dition of catalase during the fermentation in the bubble column this d ifferent behaviour could be avoided.
