Batch and fed-batch fermentations for bacterial cellulose (BC) production using molasses as a carbon source by Acetobacter xylinum BPR2001 were carried out in a jar fermentor. For improvement of BC production, molasses was subjected to H2SO4- heat treatment. The maximum BC concentration by this treated molasses increased 76%, and the specific growth rate increased 2-fold compared with that by untreated molasses. In batch fermentation, when the initial sugar concentrations of H2SO4- heat-treated molasses were varied from 20 to 70 g/L, the highest value of maximum BC concentration of 5.3 g/L was observed at 20 g/L. BC production in intermittent fed-batch (IFB) fermentation was conducted referring to the data in batch fermentation, and the highest BC production of 7.82 g/L was obtained when 0.2 L of molasses medium was added five times. When continuous fed-batch (CFB) fermentations were conducted, maximum BC concentration was obtained with a feeding rate of 6.3 g-sugar/h, which was derived from the optimal IFB experiment.
