APPENDK C. EFFECTS OF INITIAL GLUCOSE<br />

CONCENTRATION IN BATCH CULTURE<br />

The proposed mode1 was used to simulate the effecu <strong>of</strong> initiai glucose concentrations on<br />

residud glucose. ce11 mas. ethanol. glucoamylase and fraction <strong>of</strong> phsrnid-bearing cells in<br />

batch culture. The simulated results are show in Figures Cl. C2. C3. C4. and C5.<br />

Glucoam y lase concentrations are predicted to increase with increasing initial glucose<br />

concentrations; but fermentation time and plamid los are not signifcantly different at<br />

different initial glucose concentrations. Using a high initial glucose concentration should<br />

facilitate the pmductivity <strong>of</strong> recombinant <strong>protein</strong>. However. ethano1 concentration<br />

increases with increasing initial glucose concentration (Figure C3). Increased ethanol<br />

concentrations cm cause a reduction in yeast growth nie and Mabüity (Berry and Brown.<br />

1987). especidly when ethanol concentrations exceed 20 g/L (Roostaazad. 1993).<br />

Therefore. too high initial glucose concentration will have an adverse effect on the<br />

fermentation <strong>of</strong> recombinant yeast. A suitable initial glucose concentration may nnge<br />

h m 20 to 40 g/L.
