Published: January 1992

Glucose prevented maltose utilization in batch culture ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae whereas in a mixed carbohydrate-limited system, maltose and glucose were consumed simultaneously. The specific activity of α-glucosidase depended on the dilution rate as well as the proportion of maltose in the mixture. The chemostat provides a way of reaching the low residual concentrations of glucose in the broth that are necessary to release catabolite repression and permit maltose induction of α-glucosidase.

An effective automated glucose sensor for fermentation monitoring and control.

An industrial glucose analyser was partnered to an automated injection system to evaluate glucose in the culture medium of a bioreactor. This sensor has been validated on continuous cultures ofSchizosaccharomyces pombe and continuous and fed-batch cultures ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition to the advantage of a more accurate process monitoring, the main interest of this sensor deals with the control of the substrate concentration to a prespecified reference signal.
