Abstract Production of propionic acid by Propionibacterium shermanii CDB 10014 was enhanced by a pH value of 6.5 and by temperatures in the range 35-37 °C. Depending on the type of yeast extract, succinic acid can be produced in higher proportions, with decreasing propionic acid yields. With respect to propionic acid production, Difco yeast extract has shown the best results when yeast extract preparations from other different suppliers were compared. To replace yeast extract by a cheaper vitamin-nitrogen source, corn-steep liquor was tested. A complete depletion of glucose was achieved, yielding a final propionic acid concentration of over 35 g/l. These results are even better than those obtained with Difco yeast extract and suggest the possibility of an economical process based on corn-steep liquor.

We report an effective cell recycling continuous fermentation of xylose to l-lactic acid with high concentration, productivity, and yield using strain QU 25. pH was found to affect the yield and corn steep liquor as feeding medium enhanced the yield.
