As is clear from Table 3, glucose had the most prominent effect on the growth of Acetobacter aceti strain B-1, and maltose and fructose were the second ones. The most significant acid production effect on acetic acid bacterial strain B-1 is absolute ethanol. Therefore, the carbon source in the fast culture liquid medium is glucose and absolute ethyl alcohol.

When the concentration of the beef extract is 2%, the DCW of the acetobacter strain B-1 reaches the peak value of 2.90 g/L; and then begins to fall. Therefore, a beef extract concentration of 2% was selected as the central level for the subsequent optimization experiments.

TABLE 10 Effect of Complex Nitrogen sources on the cell growth and acid productivity of Acetobacter strain B-1 (n ═ 3)
Note: the combined index in the table is DCW value + acetic acid content value.
As can be seen from Table 10, the yeast extract and beef extract as a complex nitrogen source significantly affected the growth and acid production ability of the cells of the acetic acid bacterial strain B-1. Wherein DCW representing cell growth is basically maintained between 3.07 and 5.10 g/L. Experiments prove that when the adding proportion of the yeast extract to the beef extract is 4% and 2%, the biomass of the acetobacter strain B-1 reaches a higher value of 5.10g/L, the acetic acid is produced by 1.67g/100mL, and the highest value of the comprehensive index reaches 6.77.

As can be seen from tables 15-17, the concentrations of sodium chloride, sodium acetate and Tween-20 have significant influence on the growth of the acetic acid bacteria strain B-1 cells. When the concentration of the sodium chloride is 6.25g/L, the biomass of the acetobacter strain B-1 reaches the maximum value of 6.54 g/L; as the sodium chloride concentration continued to increase, the biomass began to decline. Therefore, the concentration of sodium chloride is selected to be 6.25 g/L. When the concentration of sodium acetate is 3.75g/L, the biomass of the acetobacter strain B-1 reaches the maximum value of 6.70 g/L; as the sodium acetate concentration continued to increase, the biomass began to decrease. Therefore, the concentration of sodium acetate was selected to be 3.75 g/L. When the concentration of the Tween-20 is 1g/L, the biomass of the acetobacter strain B-1 reaches the highest value of 6.78 g/L; when the concentration of the Tween-20 is continuously increased, the biomass tends to be balanced, which indicates that the Tween-20 with high concentration has no promotion effect on the growth of the thalli of the acetobacter strain B-1. Therefore, the concentration of the Tween-20 is 1 g/L.

TABLE 21 Effect of height differences between adjacent steps in step fluidic plates on growth of B-1 cells of Acetobacter strains
As can be seen from Table 21, the height difference between adjacent steps in the stepped fluidic plate is either too low or too high to facilitate the growth of B-1 cells of Acetobacter strains. With the increase of the height difference between the adjacent steps, the biomass of the Acetobacter aceti strain B-1 is increased and then tends to be balanced, and when the height difference between the adjacent steps is 3mm, the biomass reaches the highest value. Therefore, 3mm is selected as the height difference between the most suitable adjacent steps in the stepped guide plate.

In order to study the effect of the circulation rate of the culture solution on the growth of the cells of the acetobacter strain B-1, the culture operation was performed at the flow rates of 400, 533, 667, 800 and 1200mL/min with the constant flow pump 5 selected in this experiment, and the results are shown in Table 22.
TABLE 22 Effect of broth circulation Rate on growth of B-1 cells of Acetobacter strains
As can be seen from Table 22, too low or too high a circulation rate of the culture medium is not favorable for the growth of B-1 cells of the Acetobacter strain. Along with the increase of the circulation speed of the culture solution, the biomass of the acetic acid bacteria strain B-1 tends to increase first and then decrease, and when the circulation speed of the culture solution is 533mL/min, the biomass reaches the highest value. Therefore, 533mL/min is selected as the optimal culture solution circulation speed of the acetobacter strain B-1.
