Continuous anaerobic fermentations were performed in a novel external-recycle, biofilm reactor using d-glucose and CO2 as carbon substrates. Succinic acid (SA) yields were found to be an increasing function of glucose ...

Continuous, anaerobic fermentations of D-xylose were performed by Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z in a custom, biofilm reactor at dilution rates of 0.05, 0.10 and 0.30 h-1. Succinic acid yields on xylose (0.55–0.68 g ...

Increased pentose phosphate pathway flux, relative to total substrate uptake flux, is shown to enhance succinic acid (SA) yields under continuous, non-growth conditions of Actinobacillus succinogenes biofilms. Separate ...

Continuous anaerobic fermentations were performed in a biofilm reactor packed with Poraver® beads. Dilution rates (D) varied between 0.054 and 0.72 h−1, and D-glucose and CO2 gas were used as carbon substrates. Steady-state ...
