Abstract: The effects of feeding glucose on the production of 2-keto-D-gluconic acid by Pseudomonas fluorescens AR4 werestudied, and the application of fed-batch culture in the industrial production was also investigated in a 50kL fermentor. The resultsshowed that the concentration of the product could be increased effectively in fed-batch culture, the suitable concentration ofresidual glucose in the fermentation broth was 3%~6% while beginning to feed glucose, and the culture method and the strainAR4 could be applied in the industrial fermentation process.

Key words: keto-D-gluconic acid, Pseudomonas fluorescens AR4, fed-batch culture
