Abstract
- Ethanol production by calcium alginate-immobilized baker's yeast was studied in the continuous shaked-flask reactor (CSFR) using glucose medium as a feed. Immobilized cells were stable at 30~$37^{\circ}C$ and pH 4~8. Fermentation characteristics of immobilized baker's yeast were examined changing the initial glucose concentration employed were 50, 100 and 150 g/l, respectively. It was investigated that the influent glucose concentration and the dilution rate have an influence on the ethanol fermentation characteristics at steady state in continuous culture of immobilized baker's yeast. The optimum conditions for high ethanol productivity and low residual glucose output in ethanol prodution were shown to be 0.2 h ' for the dilution rate and 150 g/l for the influent glucose concentration. The maximum ethanol productivity, ethanol yield, specific growth rate and glucose conversion rate were around 7.12 g/$l\cdot h$, 0.23, 0.366 g/$l\cdot h$ and 78.43, respectively.
효모를 Na-alginate에 고정화한 후 연속반응기를 이용한 glucose 발효로 에탄올을 생산하였다. 그 결과 고정화 효모의 활성화 시간은 20~25시간이었다. 연속발효에서 고정화효모의 온도안정성은 30~$37^{\circ}C$였으며 pH 안정성은 pH 4.0~pH 8.0, 최적 희석속도는 $0.2h^[-1}$ 이었고 에탄올생산 최적 당농도는 15% 였다. 최적조건에서 에탄올수율은 0.23, 생산된 에탄올 농도는 33.90g/l 그리고 에탄올 생산성은 7.12g/$l\cdot h$로 각각 나타났다.
