Abstract
In previous publications, we described the continuous production of D-fructose from enzymatic hydrolysis of inulin with immobilized permeabiliized cells ofKluyveromyces marxianus and the increase of productivity obtained by using a mutant selected by NTG action on the wild-type strain. By improving reactor performance, it has been possible to reach 2000 g/L/d of liberated sugar from an inulin solution with the mutant strain.
In addition, it has been shown that the KF 28 mutant was an invertase and pectinase hyperproducer. These enzymatic activities are also secreted by the speciesKluyveromyces marxianus. Therefore, we investigated the possibility of using immobilized cells of this yeast as a multipotential hydrolysis reactor. A sucrose hydrolysis reactor and a pectin hydrolysis reactor were set up. It is shown here that the majority of the optimized parameters from the inulin hydrolysis reactor can be transported directly to the other reactors. However, some parameters have to be adapted, especially for pectin hydrolysis.
