Production of Lysergic Acid Derivatives in Submerged Culture

Production of mold amylases in submerged culture.

During recent years many new and extended uses have been developed for fungal enzymes. Prominent among these are applications in the fields of food manufacturing, textile processing, and in the manufacture of malt beverages and industrial alcohol. Although certain microorganisms are capable of elaborating amylases when grown under submerged conditions either aerobically (Waldmann, 1942) or anae...

Effects of Lysergic Acid and Its Derivatives on Rhinencephalic Electrograms

Production of scopularide A in submerged culture with Scopulariopsis brevicaulis

BACKGROUND Marine organisms produce many novel compounds with useful biological activity, but are currently underexploited. Considerable research has been invested in the study of compounds from marine bacteria, and several groups have now recognised that marine fungi also produce an interesting range of compounds. During product discovery, these compounds are often produced only in non-agitate...

Improvement of Xylanase Production by Cochliobolus sativus in Submerged Culture

The xylanase production by a new Cochliobolus sativus Cs5 strain was improved under submerged fermentation. The xylanase was induced by xylan and repressed by glucose, sucrose, maltose, xylose, starch and cellulose. Highest enzyme production (98.25 IU/mL) was recorded when wheat straw (4 % by mass per volume) was used as a carbon source after 120 h of incubation. NaNO3 increased xylanase produc...

Production of Mycophenolic Acid by Penicillium brevicompactum in a Submerged Batch Culture: Optimization of Culture Conditions Using Taguchi Approach

(Received: Feb. 24, 2013; Accepted in Revised Form: April 9, 2013) Abstract: Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is an antibiotic and immunosuppressive agent, as a secondary metabolite of Penicillium brevicompactum. Parameter optimization of culture composition using Test plan L16, available in the form of an orthogonal array and software for automatic design and analysis of the experiments, both based on ...
