METHOD FOR ENHANCING THE PRODCUTION OF BUTYRIC ACID USING CLOSTRIDIUM TYROBUTYRICUM

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for enhancing the production of butyric acid using Clostridium tyrobutyricum is provided to effectively enhance the production of butyric acid by adding an electron mediator to a medium of the strain and fermenting, or supplying an electron to the medium.;CONSTITUTION: A method for enhancing the production of butyric acid using Clostridium tyrobutyricum comprises the step of adding an electron mediator to a medium of the strain and fermenting, or supplying an electron to the medium using a reduction electrode and fermenting. The method enhances the production of butyric acid without reduction or generating byproducts. The byproduct is an acetic acid. The electron mediator is a methyl viologen (MV).;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
