Consumption of hexoses/pentoses and production of lactic acid by Lactobacillus bifermentans were investigated in optimized culture medium and hemicellulosic hydrolyzates. The hydrolyzate used had the following composition (expressed in gL?1): xylose 50 ± 5 gL?1; glucose 18 ± 3 gL?1; arabinose 29 ± 5 gL?1. The immobilization experiments were conducted with microbial cells entrapped in calcium alginate beads. The results indicate that maximum concentrations of lactic acid were produced after 54 h of fermentation. All glucose and arabinose in wheat bran hydrolyzate were consumed during fermentation. Only xylose was not completely consumed. The substrate consumption rate was 3.2 gh?1, 1.9 gh?1, 1.6 gh?1 respectively for glucose, arabinose, and xylose. The optimized culture condition gave a lactic acid concentration and metabolic yield of 62.77 gL?1 and 0.83 gg?1. These parameters improved to 41.3 gL?1 and 0.47 gg?1 respectively, when cell free was used.
