Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Propionic acid production by Propionibacterium freudenreichii from molasses and waste propionibacterium cells was studied in plant fibrous-bed bioreactor (PFB). With non-treated molasses as carbon source, 12.69±0.40gl(-1) of propionic acid was attained at 120h in free-cell fermentation, whereas the PFB fermentation yielded 41.22±2.06gl(-1) at 120h and faster cells growth was observed. In order to optimize the fermentation outcomes, fed-batch fermentation was performed with hydrolyzed molasses in PFB, giving 91.89±4.59gl(-1) of propionic acid at 254h. Further studies were carried out using hydrolyzed waste propionibacterium cells as substitute nitrogen source, resulting in a propionic acid concentration of 79.81±3.99gl(-1) at 302h. The present study suggests that the low-cost molasses and waste propionibacterium cells can be utilized for the green and economical production of propionic acid by P. freudenreichii.
