Abstract: | Zygosaccharomyces rouxii V19 was grown in YPG medium (yeast extract, 0.5%, peptone, 1.0%, glucose, 10%). Fermented broth was purified through a series of ion-exchange columns and ODS column and the purified sample was TMS-esterified. Malic and succinic acids were identified with GC-MS analysis. The yeast was cultivated under various cultural conditions and quantitative determination of the organic acids was carried out with HPLC on Shodex column. Glucose concentration of 30%, initial pH 5.0, and 25 °C incubation temperature were the optimum conditions. Inclusion of glutamic, malic, and succinic acid precursors in the medium increased the production of malic acid. On the other hand, only addition of malic acid enhanced the production of succinic acid. Maximum amount of malic acid produced was 74.9 g/L (32.8% yield, based on glucose consumption) in the medium with 0.5% glutamic acid supplement, and that of succinic acid was 7.7 g/L (8.1% yield) when 0.3% malic acid was added in the medium. |
