Pullulan production from Aureobsidium pullulans by continuous culture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ten isolates of Aureobasidium pullulans were screened for the highest production of pullulan and minimal melanin production from Fayoum Governorate, Egypt. The optimum conditions for continuous culture were studied; temperature was 24°C, while pH 5.0, and agitation speed was at 500 rpm, while the aeration rate was 2.5 vvm and the best flow rate was 1 L/ 24 h. The maximum production of pullulan concentration with minimum melanin production was reached 10.18±0.04 gl -1 .

Production of Pullulan From Beet Molasses and Synthetic Medium by Aureobasidium pullulans
The production of pullulan from molasses and synthetic medium by Aureobasidium pullulans P56 in batch culture was investigated. Among the pretreatments of molasses used to increase polysaccharide production, sulfuric acid + activated carbon treatment gave better results with regard to polysaccharide concentration, polysaccharide yield and sugar utilization. A maximum polysaccharide concentratio...
متن کاملThe Study on Microbial Polymers: Pullulan and PHB
Microbial cells are producers of natural polymers present in plant cells. Production of pullulan (an extracellular microbial polysaccharide) by Aureobasidium pullularia pullulans (P. pullulans) was studied under fermentation conditions, and kinetic parameters were determined. Pullulan formation obeyed a growth and non-growth associated term. PHB (polyhydroxybutyrates) an intracellular biopo...
متن کاملEfficient production of pullulan by Aureobasidium pullulans grown on mixtures of potato starch hydrolysate and sucrose
Pullulan is a natural exopolysaccharide with many useful characteristics. However, pullulan is more costly than other exopolysaccharides, which limits its effective application. The purpose of this study was to adopt a novel mixed-sugar strategy for maximizing pullulan production, mainly using potato starch hydrolysate as a low-cost substrate for liquid-state fermentation by Aureobasidium pullu...
متن کاملProduction of Pullulan from a high yielding strain of Aureobasidium pullulans isolated from Jabalpur Region of Madhya Pradesh in Central India
Aureobasidium pullulans, popularly known as black yeast, is one of the most widespread saprophytic fungus associated with wide range of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. The fungus has widely been employed in production of an economically important polysaccharide pullulan. Total 50 isolates of Aureobasidium pullulans were isolated from different flowers and leaves samples, out of which 10 therm...
متن کاملRole of pH and nitrogen limitation in the elaboration of the extracellular polysaccharide pullulan by Pullularia pullulans.
During the growth of the yeastlike fungus Pullularia pullulans on glucose as sole carbon source, the cell-mass does not increase concomitantly with the elaboration of the extracellular polysaccharide pullulan, but precedes it. The conditions generated in the culture medium which activate the secretion of polysaccharide have been sought for, and, in particular, the roles of extracellular pH and ...
