Production of Fumaric Acid by <i>Rhizopus arrhizus</i> NRRL 1526: A Simple Production Medium and the Kinetic Modelling of the Bioprocess

Fumaric acid is a promising monomer to obtain biomass-based polyesters and polyamides, and it is mainly produced by fungi of the <i>Rhizopus</i> genus in medium to high titters. The use of glucose, a main component of starchy and cellulosic food waste, as carbon source, together with a l...

description Fumaric acid is a promising monomer to obtain biomass-based polyesters and polyamides, and it is mainly produced by fungi of the <i>Rhizopus</i> genus in medium to high titters. The use of glucose, a main component of starchy and cellulosic food waste, as carbon source, together with a low-nitrogen source concentration, is a promising route to reduce process costs. In this work, the effects of nitrogen and carbonate sources on <i>Rhizopus arrhizus</i> NRRL 1526 morphology and fumaric acid productivity were analysed, simplifying the traditional production broth composition. Moreover, a non-structured, non-segregated kinetic model was proposed and fitted to concentration data of all relevant components obtained in batches performed in triplicate with the selected production broth at 34 °C and 200 rpm in an orbital shaker.
