Abstract

A Pseudomonas Putida S12 strain was developed that produces phenol from glucose as a carbon source. However, this strain was severely hindered by product inhibition. To alleviate product inhibition from fermentation broths, the product must be removed from the environment of the micro-organism. So-called solvent impregnated resins (SIR) were developed that selectively remove phenol from fermentation broths. The new application of SIR put extra constraints on the solvent selection, requiring a novel approach. The selection of an extractant for a certain product should include parameters for fermentation biocompatibility, product separation, and extractant regeneration. Results for the model compound phenol were discussed. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2007 AIChE Annual Meeting (Salt Lake City, UT 11/4-9/2007).
