Abstract For gluconic acid fermentation with Aspergillus niger oxygen-enriched air was used to increase dissolved oxygen concentration during the production phase from c. 30% to 100% saturation related to air at 1 bar. At the highest dissolved oxygen concentration the activity of glucose oxidase increased more than three-fold. At the same time, the gluconic acid production rate increased by a factor of two. During the fermentations, glucose oxidase was present endocellularly as well as exocellularly; the presence of this enzyme in the broth was due to a controlled secretion. It was found that the two fractions of the enzyme showed different activities in their contribution to overall acid production.
