The effects of oxidoreduction potential (ORP) regulation on the process of propionic acid production by Propionibacterium freudenreichii CCTCC M207015 have been investigated. Potassium ferricyanide and sodium borohydride were to determine as ORP control agents in serum bottle. In batch fermentation, cell growth, propionic acid and by-products distribution were changed with ORP levels in the range of 0 to 160 mV. Based on these analysis results, an ORP-shift control strategy was proposed: At first 156 h, ORP was controlled at 120 mV to obtain higher cell growth rate and propionic acid formation rate, then it was shifted to 80 mV after 156 h to maintain the higher propionic acid formation rate. By applying this ORP-shift control strategy, the optimal parameters were obtained as follows: the propionic acid concentration 45.99 g/L, productivity 0.192 g/L/h, the proportion of propionic acid to total organic acids 92.26% (w/w) and glycerol conversion efficiency 76.65%. The mechanism of ORP regulation was discussed by the ratio of NADH/NAD and ATP levels. The results suggest that it is possible to redistribute metabolic fluxes by the ORP-shift control strategy, and the strategy could provide a simple and efficient tool to realize high purity propionic acid production using glycerol.
