Abstract:

The cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens AR4 were immobilized by sodium alginate, and the optimization of fermentation conditions for producing 2-keto-D-gluconic acid by immobilized cells were investigated. The results showed that 5.0% of sodium alginate was the optimal carrier for immobilizing Pseudomonas fluorescens AR4 to give a high yield, and the immobilized cells could be reused for 7 times. The optimal concentration of corn steep liquor in fermentation medium was 0.75g/100 mL, and fermentation temperature was between 30 ℃ and 36 ℃. Under the optimal conditions, immobilized cells and free cells could give similar yield and conversion rate of 13.5 g/100 mL and 90.0%, respectively.
