Method for culturing micro-organisms in reducing conditions obtained by a gas stream

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of culturing microorganisms which makes it possible to reduce the oxidation-reduction potential of the culture medium, characterized in that the said culture is carried out under reducing conditions obtained by a reducing gas compared with air comprising hydrogen. It also relates to such a method for modifying the metabolic flows during the culture of the microorganisms. It applies more particularly to the food sector and in particular to the production of alcoholic beverages.
