  • Patent number: 10604736
    Abstract: A two-vessel continuous flow system in conjunction with low mutation reduced genome bacterial strains provides a platform for long term extended fermentations. Such systems require modification of standard fermentation devices such as probes, pumps and monitoring systems as well as improved procedures for feed delivery, culture monitoring and product harvesting methods. An optimized two-vessel system for producing large quantities of fermentation products from small volume, long duration continuous fermentations represents a significant improvement over existing fermentation strategies. Methods and compositions for long term continuous flow fermentation using a two vessel continuous culture fermentation apparatus are described.
