On integrating downstream membrane based separation modules with conventional fermentation unit, gluconic acid representing a class of industrially important organic acids could be produced from fermentation of sugar cane juice a renewable cheap carbon source in an environmentally benign process. Using Gluconobacter oxydans as microbial agents in the bioconversion, the membrane-integrated hybrid fermentation system succeeded in producing 93 g/L gluconic acid of 98% purity with yield of 0.94 g/g and productivity of 6.7 g/L/h. The system performance parameters establish superiority of this novel technology over the existing ones. Against the overwhelmingly practiced batch or semi-batch processes involving multiple energy-intensive unit operations, this continuous production scheme ensures efficient bioconversion without substrate-product inhibitions in a quite simplified plant characterized by high degree of process intensification.
