  • PROCESS FOR FERMENTING YEAST
    Publication number: 20240318123
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for fermenting Yarrowia in a bioreactor, comprising cultivating Yarrowia in a medium, and adding a feed comprising formic acid and a sugar to the medium in a molar ratio of formic acid to sugar of 1 to 13 mol formic acid/mol monosaccharide.

  • FED-BATCH FERMENTATION PROCESS
    Publication number: 20240271074
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cultivating a microorganism, comprising the steps of (i) adding into a first bioreactor a medium and an inoculum comprising the microorganism and producing a fermentation broth in fed-batch culture; and (ii) adding into a second bioreactor a second medium and part of the fermentation broth from step (i) and producing a second fermentation broth in a second fed-batch culture; and (iii) adding into a next bioreactor a next medium and a part of the fermentation broth from step (ii), and producing a next fermentation broth in a next fed-batch culture, wherein a feed is introduced into the first, second and next bioreactor.

  • Fermentation method for producing gellan gum
    Patent number: 11149293
    Abstract: This invention provides a fermentation method of producing gellan gum, wherein a certain amount of fermentation broth is retained in the fermentor as a seed for next batch fermentation or transferred to another fermentor as a seed for next batch fermentation in that fermentor. The fermentation method of this invention reduces fermentation cost of gellan gum and lowers contamination risk during seed cultivation.

  • Nitrogen source feeding fermentation process for producing gellan gum
    Patent number: 10767206
    Abstract: The invention provides a new fermentation process for producing gellan gum, which can control the feeding amount and feeding speed of the nitrogen sources accurately and quantitatively, and control the growth and gum production of the strains, so as to significantly improve the controllability, stability and yield of the fermentation process for producing gellan gum.
