초록
The thermophilic microorganism Bacillus caldolyticus was incubated in laboratory scale stirred bioreactors under pressurised conditions at different aeration rates. Increased amounts of CO<SUB>2</SUB>/bicarbonate were solubilised under the chosen conditions. A reduction in aeration rate from 1vvm to 0.1vvm resulted in accumulation of CO<SUB>2</SUB> and bicarbonate up to 126mgl<SUP>-1</SUP> and 733mgl<SUP>-1</SUP>, respectively and also increased secretion of α-amylase and neutral proteases (increases of 123% and 52%, respectively). In this paper, the effect of reduced aeration rate on CO<SUB>2</SUB>/bicarbonate concentration and enzyme activities is presented. The selected fermentation conditions are closely related to those prevalent in large scale bioreactors and may offer the possibility of achieving high enzyme yields at reduced aeration costs on an industrial scale.
