Study of fermentation behavior and formulation of a semidefined nutrient medium based on acid-production measurements in Z. mobilis cultures.

abstract：:The end-product profile of the glucose fermentation by Propionibacterium freudenreichii ET-3 changed on an electrochemical treatment, in which the culture vessel was filled with a carbon felt anode. Acetate and propionate were produced as final end products in a molar ratio of 2:3 without any electrochemical treatment...
