Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/105652
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a method for producing a chemical substance with high yield using a mixed sugar composed of a hexose and a pentose as a fermentation raw material. [Solution] Provided is a method for producing a chemical substance through continuous fermentation, said method comprising filtrating a culture solution of a microorganism using a separation membrane, retaining an unfiltered portion of the culture solution in the culture solution or refluxing the unfiltered portion through the culture solution, adding a new fermentation raw material to the culture solution and collecting a product from the culture solution, wherein the fermentation raw material comprises a pentose and a hexose and the microorganism has a pathway through which a pentose can be metabolized with a pentose reductase and a pentol dehydrogenase.
