Study of ATP Production with Immobilized Saccharamyces Cerivisae Using Carbon Dioxide Evolution Rate as Scale up Criterion

The biotransformation of adenosine to ATP using immobilized saccharamyces cerivisae in multifunctional shake flask of Y Z type was studied and the process parameter curves were obtained. When the same process was scaled up into a liquid recycling fluidized bed reactor, it was found that of the time course profile of carbon dioxide evolution rates( CER ) was maintained identically with that obtained from sake flask test same conversion results could be obtained as that from shake flask test. So the CER can be considered as a sound scale up criterion of this biotransformation process.
