概要

A new fermentation system employing gradual increases in the NaCl concentration of the culture medium was developed for the rapid production of Pediococcus halophilus NaCl-tolerant cells. A fermentation system with cross-flow filtration using a microfiltration module allowed the continuous removal of inhibitory metabolites and complete recycling of the cells to the fermentor. By increasing the NaCl concentrations stepwise or linearly in the feeding media, cells of 8.48 or 9.86 g-dry weight per liter were obtained. The productivities of NaCl-tolerant cells per unit time in a cultivation with a stepwise of linear increase in NaCl concentration in the feeding media were 46 or 56-fold as high, respectively, as that in conventional batch cultivation.
