Abstract：
:Pellet growth of Aspergillus terreus ATCC 20542 in submerged batch fermentations in stirred bioreactors was used to examine the effects of agitation (impeller tip speed u(t) of 1.01-2.71 ms(-1)) and aeration regimens (air or an oxygen-enriched mixture containing 80% oxygen and 20% nitrogen by volume) on the fungal pellet morphology, broth rheology and lovastatin production. The agitation speed and aeration methods used did not affect the biomass production profiles, but significantly influenced pellet morphology, broth rheology and the lovastatin titers. Pellets of approximately 1200 microm initial diameter were reduced to a final stable size of approximately 900 microm when the agitation intensity was >/=600 rpm (u(t)>/=2.03 ms(-1)). A stable pellet diameter of approximately 2500 microm could be attained in less intensely agitated cultures. These large fluffy pellets produced high lovastatin titers when aerated with oxygen-enriched gas but not with air. Much smaller pellets obtained under highly agitated conditions did not attain high lovastatin productivity even in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere. This suggests that both an upper limit on agitation intensity and a high level of dissolved oxygen are essential for attaining high titers of lovastatin. Pellet size in the bioreactor correlated equally well with the specific energy dissipation rate and the energy dissipation circulation function. The latter took into account the frequency of passage of the pellets through the high shear regions of the impellers. Pellets that gave high lovastatin titers produced highly shear thinning cultivation broths.
