✦ Synopsis
Using a methanol utilizing acidophilic MB 58 bacteria strain (IMET 109453, a stable fermentation process was performed in a pilot plant pressure fermenter of 250 I total volume for more than four months. Under the fermentation conditions (system pressure and retention time) used, productivities ranged between 2.3 and 9.4 BDM kg-l. h-l and growth yields between 0.31 and 0.42. Models describe the correlations between yield and retention time. The mean value of growth yield amounts to 0.41 at a retention time of 6.5 h.
