Abstract
Abstract (1/2-em) In order to enhance the productivity of lactic acid and reduce the end-product inhibition of fermentation, the partitioning and growth of four different strains of lactic acid bacteria in three different aqueous two-phase systems were studied. Polyethyleneglycol/ dextran, polyethyleneglycol/hydroxypropyl starch polymer (HPS), and a random copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (EO-PO)/HPS were used as polymer systems. One strain each of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii partitioned completely to the interface and bottom phase in two-phase systems with low polymer concentrations of EO-PO/HPS100 and EO-PO/ HPS200. The growth and production of lactic acid by two of... (More)

One strain each of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii partitioned completely to the interface and bottom phase in two-phase systems with low polymer concentrations of EO-PO/HPS100 and EO-PO/ HPS200. The growth and production of lactic acid by two of three L. lactis strains in a two-phase system with 5.5% (w/w) EO-PO and 12.0% (w/w) HPS100 were reduced by less than 10% compared with a reference fermentation in a normal growth medium. The viability of L. lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 19435 was maintained for at least 501/4-em h and with four top-phase replacements during extractive fermentation in the EO-PO/HPS100 system. Moreover, when cell density reached the stationary phase in the first extractive fermentation, the lactate production in this aqueous two-phase system was maintained. (Less)
