ABSTRACT Propionic acid production from glucose was studied using Propionibacterium freudenreichii shermanii. Conditions were optimized for high yields of propionic acid and total organic acids by sequential optimization of parameters like pH, inoculum age, inoculum volume and substrate concentration. Near-theoretical yield (0.54 ± 0.023 g/g) was achieved for propionic acid with fermentation of 1% glucose using 20% (v/v) of 48 hr old P. shermanii at 30°C, pH maintained at 5.5. Total organic acid yield under these conditions was 0.74 ± 0.06 g/g. The study resulted in achieving 98% and 95% theoretical yields of propionic acid and total organic acids, respectively. Under optimized conditions, along with organic acids, P. shermanii also produced vitamin B12 and trehalose intracellularly, showing its potential to be used as a cell factory.
