Impact of the dissolved oxygen level on the fermentation of sunflower seed milk by a co-culture of P. freudenreichii NCC 1177 and B. amyloliquefaciens NCC 156. Impact of oxygen supply on vitamin B12 production (A), growth (B), vitamin B12 production per cell (C), and the production of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, and B7 during fermentation (D). Prior to fermentation, the milk was processed by ultra-high temperature treatment. The different aeration regimes from low to high (shown from left to right) were created by incubation in non-baffled flasks at 80 rpm, baffled flasks at 80 rpm, non-baffled flasks at 130 rpm, baffled flasks at 130 rpm, non-baffled flasks at 180 rpm and baffled flasks at 180 rpm. The inoculum ratio between strains NCC 1177 and NCC 156 was 1000:1. Fermentation was carried out at 30 °C for 72 h, including an initial 48 h anaerobic phase, followed by a 24 h aerobic phase. n = 3
