In this work the production of glutathione (GSH) by yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the monitoring of the process were studied. In shaking culture the production of GSH was high at initial pH value of 4 and at temperature of 30. But when L-cysteine was added to the culture medium at the beginning of the cultivation, the productivity of GSH was low. In case 0,5% (v/v) of L-cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid were introduced to the culture medium in the exponential cell growth phase, high concentration of GSH (about 90 mg/L) was produced in the bioreactor. A fed-batch operation with stepwise glucose feeding strategy allowed to produce 102 mg/L of GSH. The cultivation processes were on-line monitored by a 2-dimensional fluorescence sensor. A few off-line data such as cell growth, cystein concentration, phosphate concentration and GSH productivity could be well correlated to the fluorescence intensity of some combinations of excitation and emission wavelengths.
