  Great amounts of carbon dioxide generated by Pseudomonas denitrificans during high aerobic vitamin B12 fermentation, while the influence of CO2 concentration on vitamin B12 production remains unclear. In this paper, we present parallel experiments to investigate various levels of inlet CO2 fractions on the physiological metabolism of P. denitrificans in laboratory scale fermentation. The results demonstrated that the oxygen transfer rate, cell growth and glucose consumption were inhibited with CO2 fraction elevated from 0.03% to 8.86 ± 0.24%, while the most exciting results showed that the specific vitamin B12 production rate and the yield to glucose were greatly stimulated when dissolved CO2 increased to 8.86 ± 0.24%. Therefore, the optimal exhausted CO2 fraction contro.. Read More»
