Zusammenfassung:A continuous fermentation process and apparatus utilizing an immobilized microbe reactor in which at least one productivity-limiting nutrient is added continuously to at least portion of the effluent from the reactor and at least a portion of the resulting nutrient-enriched effluent is recycled through the reactor at a recycle ratio of at least about 2:1, with the proviso that the volume ratio of effluent from the reactor to recycled effluent is greater than unity.
