Abstract
Two different strains of baker’s yeast are cultivated using a fed-batch process with a novel airlift loop reactor. The reactor can be operated not only under steady-state conditions as the traditional airlift loop reactor, but also under forced periodically operational conditions in which the direction of liquid circulating flow is alternatively changed. Compared with the traditional steady-state operation, both the growth rate and yield of cells are much higher in the forced periodic operation.
