Citric Acid Fermentation by Locally Isolated Aspergillus Niger M2sg1-Ms4

The citric acid fermentation by locally isolated strain of Aspergillus niger was carried out using shake flask culture and 2 L stirred tank fermenter. The pure strain was obtained through monospores isolation step using spread plate technique. From morphological and biochemical properties, isolat...

Optimum fermentation condition for citric acid production by M2sgl-MS4 was obtained at initial pH range between 2.5-3.0, temperature of 30°C and agitation speed of 1000 rpm with 1.0 vvm airflow rate. Maximum citric acid concentration obtained under this condition was approximately 62.5 g/L, which gave the yield and overall productivity of 0.41 glg and 0.19 g/L/h, respectively.

In order to find approach for minimizing foam formation during citric acid fermentation in stirred tank fermenter, the effect of several fermenter configurations based on number of impeller and baffles used on foam formation tested. The fermenter with 4-baffles and a single Rushton turbine impeller was found suitable to avoid excessive foaming during the fermentation. The development of dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) control strategies aimed at improving citric acid production in 2 L stirred tank fermenter was also carried out. Maximum citric acid production was obtained in batch fermentation in which DOT was controlled at 80% saturation through out the fermentation. Approximately, 69.06 g/L citric acid which gave yield and overall productivity of 0.47 g/g and 0.22 g/L/h respectively was obtained after 3 12 h of fermentation.
