PG - 37-43 AB - The influence of the product inhibition by dihydroxyacetone (DHA) on Gluconobacter oxydans for a novel semi-continuous two-stage repeated-fed-batch process was examined quantitatively. It was shown that the culture was able to grow up to a DHA concentration of 80 kg m(-3) without any influence of product inhibition. The regeneration capability of the reversibly product inhibited culture from a laboratory-scale bioreactor system was observed up to a DHA concentration of about 160 kg m(-3). At higher DHA concentrations, the culture was irreversibly product inhibited. However, due to the robust membrane-bound glycerol dehydrogenase of G. oxydans, product formation was still active for a prolonged period of time. The reachable maximum final DHA concentration was as high as 220 kg m(-3). The lag phases for growth increased exponentially with increasing DHA threshold values of the first reactor stage. These results correlated well with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) measurements confirming that the number of active cells decreased exponentially with increasing DHA concentrations.
