Abstract
In a comprehensive study batch and continuous production of citric aci d has been investigated. Fermentations in the reciprocation-jet-biorea ctor (RJBR) have been carried out with the fungi Aspergillus niger. In the present paper only the results of continuous fermentations are pr esented. The paper discusses the influence of medium composition in th e influent, input of biomass and frequency of reciprocating motion on citric acid production.
