Sorbitol Production By Zymomonas Mobilis ATCC 29191 In Medium Of Sucrose Pre-Treated With Invertase

Abstract

Sorbitol production by Zymomonas mobilis ATCC 29191 in medium of sucrose pre-treated with invertase was studied. The best results were obtained when the medium was pre-treated with invertase as sorbitol production of 41,39 g/L and a productivity of 1,72 g/L.h-1 in 24 hours of fermentation. The invertase addition in the fermentation broth increased 72,17% in the sorbitol formation.
