摘要：The physiological response of erythromycin fermentation scale-up from 50 L to 132 m3 scale was investigated. A relatively high oxygen uptake rate (OUR) in early phase of fermentation was beneficial for erythromycin biosynthesis. Correspondingly, the maximal consistency coefficient (K) reflecting non-Newtonian fluid characteristics in 50 L and 132 m3 fermenter also appeared in same phase. Fluid dynamics in different scale bioreactor was further investigated by real-time computational fluid dynamics modeling. The results of simulation showed that the impeller combination in 50 L fermenter could provide more modest flow field environment compared with that in 132 m3 fermenter. The decrease of oxygen transfer rate (OTR) in 132 m3 fermenter was the main cause for impairing cell physiological metabolism and erythromycin biosynthesis. These results were helpful for understanding the relationship between hydrodynamic environment and physiological response of cells in bioreactor during the scale-up of fermentation process. ?
