Figure 2From: Change in product selectivity during the production of glyceric acid from glycerol by Gluconobacter strains in the presence of methanol Time-dependent changes in the concentrations of GA, DHA, and glycerol in G. frateurii NBRC103465 cultures. Cells were cultivated in a 5-L jar fermenter containing 2.5 L of glycerol medium at 30°C, 500 rpm, and 0.5 vvm. The pH of the cultures was controlled using BDF production-derived raw glycerol containing 30.9% (w/v) methanol (a); the control contained no methanol (b). Open circles: GA concentration; open squares: DHA concentration; closed circles: glycerol concentration.Back to article page
