A FERMENTATION PROCESS CONDUCTED IN FERMENTATION MEDIUM HAVING A GROWTH PHASE AND A PRODUCTION PHASE

摘要

A fermentation process conducted in a fermentation medium comprising a fermenting microorganism wherein the microorganism is a genetically engineered organism having a disrupted pyruvte decarboxylase (PDC) pathway, and a substrate fermentable by the microorganism, wherein the fermentation medium has a predetermined quantity of dissolved oxygen (DO), and wherein the fermentation process has a growth phase and a production phase.
