Abstract

Microbial productions (cells or metabolite) are working: in anaerobiosis at less than 2% of their potencies, and in aerobiosis at less than 20%. Inhibition of cell production by the cells themselves is an important phenomenon that it is necessary to control. New concept of fermentation need to integrate the strategy of i) cell recycling to obtain culture at high concentration, ii) cell recycling and detoxification and iii) cell recycling, extractive fermentation and detoxfication.
