Notes:
The use of immobilization in extractive lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus delbrueckii is preferred. In this article, the mathematical simulations to examine the influences of substrate and product transport were performed to assess the overall performance. The simulations showed that transport of the substrate in k-carrageenan beads was not a rate limiting factor. However, the model observed significant buildup of inhibitory product in large beads. The model was validated through comparisons with the experimental results. Finally, the model was used to predict the performance of the extractive fermentation under different operating strategies.
