Continuous Fermentation to Produce Xanthan Biopolymer : Laboratory Investigation
نویسنده
چکیده
Xanthan biopolymer has been produced by single-stage continuous ferment~ tion with Xanthomonas campestris NRRL B-1459 in a medium of glucose, minerals, distillers' solubles, and urea for as long as 20 days. At the highest dilution rate studied (D = 0.0285 hr-1), the steady state rate of xanthan production was 0.36 g/kg/hr and ·the steady state yield, basis glucose consumed, was 68%. Observations indicate that xanthan production rate is a function of pH and D.

Xanthan gum is an extracellular hetero polysaccharides of many industrial applications and produced by Xanthomonas campestris. This biopolymer is produced as extracellular product in submerged fermentation system. The production of xanthan was influenced by the concentration in glucose in medium. The maximal volumetric production of 17.9 g L was obtained in 80 g L glucose culture in shake flask...

Xanthomonas campestris was used for producing xanthan gum using date syrup, prepared from low quality dates, as a substrate. Fermentation was carried out with date syrup and sucrose syrup at 28 ˚C and pH 6.8 in a rotary benmarin shaker (240 rpm). The effect of fermentation period (24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h) on xanthan gum production was studied. The results showed that EPS concentration increase...

A streptomycin-resistant variant of Xanthomonas campestris was grown in defined nutrient-deficient media in both batch and continuous culture. The production, composition and viscosity of the extracellular polysaccharide (xanthan) synthesized by this strain were influenced by the fermentation time and nutrient exhaustion in batch culture and by the dilution rate in continuous culture. The speci...
