Abstract
Three specific growth rates, 0.23, 0.45 and 0.51 h−1, were used to cultivate Corynebacterium glutamicum in a pH-auxostat. The specific formation rates of most amino acids increased by raising the specific growth rates. The highest specific growth rate, 0.51 h−1, favors the production of LEU; whereas the highest production yield for ALA and GLU were at μ = 0.23 h−1. A correlation among specific growth rates, glucose consumption rate, and production yields of amino acids was obtained.
