Abstract: | Trichoderma reesei (QM 9414) produced cellulase in continuous culture, on media containing xylose (1%) supplemented with sorbose (0.3%) to induce cellulase production. Maximum cell mass of 4.54 kg/m(3) occurred at pH 4.0 and a dilution rate of 0.0391 h(-1) where residual substrate was 0.43 kg/m(3), but no cellulase was produced. Maximum cellulase production of 0.69 FPU occurred at pH 3.5 and a dilution rate of 0.0110 h(-1), where cell mass production was 2.56 kg/m(3) and residual substrate was 0.15 kg/m(3). Monod kinetic constants, corrected for endogenous metabolism, were 0.091 h(-1), 0.469 kg/m(3), 0.00923 h(-1), and 0.470 kg cells/kg xylose at pH 3.5, for the maximum specific growth rate, Michaelis-Menten coefficient, endogenous metabolism coefficient, and yield coefficient, respectively. Specific growth rate fitted a maturation time model, which predicted decreasing maturation time with increasing pH. |
