Enhanced catalase synthesis by a novel combined system of photocatalytic reactor and fermentor.
A novel combined system of a photocatalytic reactor, with UV and titanium dioxide as photocatalyst, and a fermentor with Bacillus sp. F26 as catalase producer was developed. Production of catalase was enhanced by 14% to 18.5 U ml-1 without affecting cell growth.
