Abstract
The production of single cell protein (SCP) form ethanol is an interesting process to study from a biochemical engineering viewpoint. The cellular yield mainly depends upon the metabolic activity of the cells and the amount of substrate available. Fedbatch fermentations Were run in a 70 liter highly instrumented computerβcoupled fermentor using Candida utilis. Respiratory quotient and culture fluorescence, measuring NADH, indicate by which pathway ethanol is utilized. By monitoring these parameters it is possible to control the ethanol concentration so that accumulation of acetate is minimized and the conversion of ethanol to cell mass is maximized.

The production of ethanol from carob pod extract by free and immobilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells in batch and fed-batch culture was investigated. Fed-batch culture proved to be a better fermentation system for the production of ethanol than batch culture. In fedbatch culture, both free and im
A fed-batch cell culture process was developed that has general applicability to all evaluated Sp2/0 (n = 8) and NS0 (n = 1) antibody-producing cell lines. The two key elements of this generic process were a protein-free concentrated feed medium, and a robust, metabolically responsive feeding strate
