Kinetic analysis and modeling of L-valine production in fermentation batch from E. coli using glucose, lactose and whey as carbon sources

ABSTRACT: In this study the effect of the carbon source on L-valine production kinetics using genetically modified E. coli was researched. Glucose, lactose, Whey (W) and deproteinized whey (DW) were tested as carbon sources, keeping the carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio constant. Biomass generation and su...
