Abstract
Fed-batch fermentation of glucose by a mutant strain of C. thermoaceti cum resulted in acetate concentrations of 83-100 gL(-1). Excess nutrie nts were required to maintain cell viability, especially when high cel l concentrations were used. The strain was tolerant to high levels of Na, Ca and Mg. Product yield was 0.74-0.80 g acetate/g glucose, and th e productivity was 0.60-0.85 gL(-1)h(-1).
