Abstract
Actinobacillus succinogenes NJ113 is capable of microaerobic fermentation, which offers the possibility of a novel type of pyruvic acid production. A dissolved oxygen environment with stirring at 300 rpm was a key factor in the fermentative production of a maximum concentration of pyruvic acid. Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) was found to have a role in promoting pyruvic acid production, influencing the concentration of pyruvic acid and production of the by-product succinic acid. The final titer of pyruvic acid production was 36.8±0.1 g L−1 with an overall yield of 0.639±0.056 g g−1 glucose and 3.12±0.03mmol g−1 dry cell weight h−1.
Significance and impact of the study
This study is the first to illustrate the advantage of using Actinobacillus succinogenes NJ113 with no genetic modification under microaerobic conditions for the production of pyruvic acid.
