Nevertheless, fermentation employing LAB often suffers end-product inhibition which reduces the cell growth rate and the production of metabolite. The inhibition of lactic acid is due to the solubility of the undissociated lactic acid within the cytoplasmic membrane and insolubility of dissociated lactate, which causes acidification of cytoplasm and failure of proton motive forces.

The effect of different loading concentrations (5 - 40 g/L) of anion-exchange resin on the performance of batch cultivation of P. acidilactici was also evaluated. High loading concentrations of anion-exchange resin showed an inhibitory effect on the growth of P. acidilactici. The application of IRA 67 anion-exchange resin in batch and constant fed-batch fermentation improved the growth of P. acidilactici about 67 times and 56 times, respectively compared to the control batch fermentation without resin addition.

The growth of P. acidilactici in the integrated bioreactor-internal column system containing anion-exchange resin was further improved by 1.4 times over that obtained in the bioreactor containing dispersed resin. The improvement of the P. acidilactici growth indicated that extractive fermentation using solid phase is an effective approach for reducing by-product inhibition and increasing product titer.
