Encapsulation of Lactic Acid Bacteria in Calcium Alginate Beads for Bacteriocin Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
Investigations on encapsulation of lactic acid bacteria in alginate beads were carried out. For this purpose a bacteriocin producing strain Enterococcus faecium A 2000 was used. For the production of capsules with a small diameter (0.8-1 mm) an electrostatic generator was applied. To enhance of the capsule stability, the fermentation was performed in modified MRS medium without phospates and with addition of CaCl2. As a result of the immobilization the bacteriocin production was increased with approximately 50 %, compared with the batch fermentation with free cells. The immobilized cells could be reuses up to three times after filtration and resuspension in new medium.

In this study, lactic acid production by repeated batch fermentation using cell entrapped methods was compared. Barium alginate beads, agar gel and polyurethane foam cubes were employed as carriers to immobilize Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei for the purpose of L (+)-lactic acid production. Increasing concentrations of lactic acid during fermentation were better tolerated by barium alginate e...
