Unequal Specific Uptake Rates of Glucose Anomers by Yeast and E. coli

主要研究人员建议研究α -葡萄糖与β -葡萄糖的比例对酿酒酵母菌和大肠杆菌特定生长速率的影响。以及这个比例对这些生物的副产物动力学的影响，如乙醇和乙酸。将进行连续发酵和补料分批发酵，优化研究将寻求以最小的副产物形成产生高细胞生长速率和产量。

The Principal Investigators propose to carry out research on the effects of the ratio of alpha to beta glucose on the specific growth rates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and E. coli, as well as the effect of this ratio on the kinetics of byproducts from these organisms, such as ethanol and acetic acid. Continuous and fed-batch fermentations will be carried out, and optimization studies will seek to produce high cellular growth rates and yields with minimal byproduct formation.
