Abstract: The main factors affecting self-immobilization of Rhizopus oryzae NLX-M-1 for L-lactic acid production were studied in present study. The optimum fermentation conditions utilizing wood fiber-based glucose for R.oryzae self-immobilization were obtained. The optimal results were achieved as 100 g/L initial glucose, 2 g/L (NH4)2SO4, 2 %inoculum size (value fraction), 30 g/L CaCO3, 0.1 g/L KH2PO4, 0.25 g/L MgSO4·7H2O and 0.1 g/L ZnSO4·7H2O. Under this optimal condition, R.oryzae formed pellets with an average diameter of about 1 mm during the fermentation, the production of L-lactic acid was 76.6 g/L and the conversion rate was 81.6 %. R.oryzae in acid explosive residue hydrolyzate containing 60 g/L glucose became 1.2 mm pellets, and produced 36.4 g/L L-lactic acid with a conversion rate of 63.5 %.
