Title:
METHOD OF PRODUCING CHEMICAL PRODUCT AND CONTINUOUS FERMENTATION APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/097260
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method of producing a chemical product via continuous fermentation, which comprises filtering a liquid culture medium of a microorganism or cultured cells through a separation membrane, collecting the product from the filtrate, keeping the unfiltered liquid in the liquid culture medium or refluxing thereinto and additionally supplying the material to be fermented into the liquid culture medium, wherein a porous membrane having an average pore size of 0.01 μm or more but less than 1 μm is employed as the separation membrane and the filtration is carried out at an intermembrane pressure difference of from 0.1 to 20 kPa. According to this method, the fermentation productivity of the chemical product can be largely elevated at high stability and a low cost.
