Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: Provided is a process for the production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid by fermentative conversion of L-sorbose and/or D-sorbitol. CONSTITUTION: A fermentation process for the production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid from L-sorbose comprises contacting a microorganism with L-sorbose for a sufficient time and then isolating the accumulated 2-KLG. Preferably, the fermentation process comprises cultivating a microorganism in a synthetic or natural culture medium containing L-sorbose for a sufficient time and then isolating the accumulated 2-KLG from the culture medium and/or cells of the microorganism.
