A method of producing lactic acid by continuous fermentation includes filtering a culture of polyploidy prototrophic yeast having a capacity to produce lactic acid by introduction of a lactate dehydrogenase gene through a porous membrane having an average pore size of not less than 0.01 μm and less than 1 μm; and recovering the lactic acid from filtrate while the unfiltered liquid is retained in or returned to the culture and a fermentation feedstock is added to the culture.
摘要:
The invention provides a method of producing a chemical product through continuous fermentation which includes filtering a culture of a microorganism or cultured cells with a separation membrane to recover a product from a filtrate and simultaneously retaining a nonfiltered fluid in, or refluxing it to, the culture, and adding fermentation materials to the culture, wherein a porous membrane having an average pore size of 0.01 μm or more to less than 1 μm is used as the separation membrane and the filtration is conducted with a transmembrane pressure difference in the range of 0.1 to 20 kPa. According to this method, the fermentation productivity of the chemical product can be largely elevated at high stability and a low cost.
