H. Tsujimura et al., SCALEUP OF PEROXIDASE PRODUCTION BY ARTHROMYCES-RAMOSUS BASED ON ANALYSIS OF FLUID VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION, Journal of fermentation and bioengineering, 77(6), 1994, pp. 650-654
A fluid velocity distribution analysis was applied to a scaleup of per
oxidase production by batch culture of Arthromyces ramosus. The scaleu
ps from a 10 l jar-fermentor to 1 kl and 10 kl fermenters were carried
out by minimizing deviation in the velocity distribution from that of
a 10 1 jar-fermenter. By this method, agitation rates in 1 kl and 10
kl fermenters were determined as 190 and 90 rpm, respectively. The per
oxidase activity obtained in both 1 kl and 10 kl fermenters was 40 U/m
l after a 90 h culture, which is consistent with that obtained in 10 l
jar-fermenter.
