Abstract

To increase the level of $CoQ_{10}$ production in mass culture, the effects of pH and light irradiation on $CoQ_{10}$ production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides were investigated in a 1-L bioreactor. $CoQ_{10}$ production was growth-associated, and the highest production of $CoQ_{10}$ (1.69 mg/g dry cell) was obtained under uncontrolled pH: this production was 1.7 times higher than that obtained at controlled pH 7. Therefore, pH was a key factor affecting $CoQ_{10}$ production. The effect of light irradiation on $CoQ_{10}$ production was negligible. This result offers an advantage for mass production of $CoQ_{10}$.
