Abstract

To overcome the limitation of low productivity, some conditions are to be established for the control of micro organism activity, so that their multiplication and successive functioning can be favored. During the growth period, mineral supplements are necessary to enhance the activity of different enzymes. Addition of right mixture of minerals (both macro and micro), can make yeast to perform better than ever. In this study, it has been found that, 0.1% NaCl. 0.01% CaCl2, 0.125% KH2PO4, 0.125% K2HPO4, 0.05% MgSO4 center dot 7H(2)O, 1% Na2HPO4 center dot 2H(2)O, 1 mg/L boric acid, 10 mu g/ml each of Fe2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ is the optimum requirement for our organism to produce the maximum amount of acetic acid i.e. 10.678 g/L.
