Intermittent fed-batch culture with total cell retention was evaluated during Bacillus thuringiensis serovar. kurstaki fermentations aiming to enhance biomass and spore concentration yields while maintaining toxicity. This method is derived from the already reported intermittent fed-batch culture and utilized a tangential flow filtration system for cell retention. After 4 pulses, we obtained a biomass of 74.36 g·L-1 and this biomass displayed a half lethal concentration towards neonate Spodoptera frugiperda larvae of 40.53 ng·cm-2, and spore concentration of 4.6 x 1014 CFU mL-1. On the other hand, volumetric productivity was increased seven-fold compared to batch fermentation. Interestingly, we are not aware of higher spore concentrations reported to date for B. thuringiensis cultures.

In this work, we consider a model of the biodenitrification process taking place in a spatially-distributed bioreactor, and we take into account the limitation of the kinetics by both the carbon source and the oxidized nitrogen. This model concerns a single type of bacteria growing on nitrate, which splits into adherent bacteria or free bacteria in the liquid, taking all interactions into account. The system obtained consists of four diffusion-convection-reaction equations for which we show the existence and uniqueness of a global solution. The system is approximated by a standard finite element method that satisfies an optimal a priori error estimate. We compare the results obtained for three forms of the growth function: single substrate limiting, “multiplicative” form, and “minimum” form. We highlight the limitation of the ‘ single substrate limiting model”, where the dependency of the bacterial growth on the nitrate is neglected, and find that the “minimum” model gives numerical results closer to the experimental results.
