Since the discovery of the stimulating effect of corn steep liquor on penicillin fermentation, various lactosesteep liquor media have been used in penicillin fermentations. The requirements for a good penicillin fermentation are fulfilled by the steep liquor-lactose media by virtue of its composition (Johnson, 1952). The production of penicillin on a chemically defined medium (Jarvis and Johnso...

production of oxytetracycline by an isolated strain of streptomyces rimosus from iranian soil was investigated using a special fermentation medium. a comparative study was performed with standard strain ptcc 1144 using the following parameters optimum growth conditions with respect to time, ph, and different amounts of corn steep liquor. surprisingly, the production yield of the wild strain was...

Two response surface methodologies involving central composite designs have been successfully applied to evaluate the effect of cheese whey, corn steep liquor, ammonium sulphate, temperature and pH control on lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus sp. LMI8 isolated from cassava flour wastewater. In the first central composite design, corn steep liquor and ammonium sulphate were investigated ...

(• ¯ " ‡ OE[ˆê • ")(‰ª • " • º ƒ') Some substances to promote the production of antibiotics were re ported already by many authors. According to Knight1) the use of corn steep liquor in the media of Penicillium chrysogenum increased the production of Penicillin. Koffler and others2) investigated on the promoting elements of corn steep liquor and reported that one element was the combination of ...

Almost all oleaginous microorganisms are available for biodiesel production, and for the mechanism of oil accumulation, which is what makes a microbial approach economically competitive. This study investigated the potential that the yeast Candida lipolytica UCP0988, in an anamorphous state, has to produce simultaneously a bioemulsifier and to accumulate lipids using inexpensive and alternative...

Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus was found to secrete a large amount of extracellular inulinase in to the medium. The optimization of inulinase production using copra waste as a carbon source was performed with statistical methodology based on experimental designs. The screening of eighteen nutrients for their influence on inulinase production was achieved using a Plackett– –Burman design...

A novel source of biological nitrogen produced by multi-strain fermentation was developed for erythromycin production. The nitrogen composition of corn steep liquor, biological nitrogen and soybean flour was optimized by using Response surface methodology (RSM) firstly. A Box-Behnken design was used to estimate the optimum nitrogen composition for the production of erythromycin as follows: corn...

We produced a-amylase from banana peel by Bacillus subtilis through solid state fermentation (SSF). Addition of yeast extract, corn steep liquor, sodium dodesyl sulphate (SDS) and Tween-80 enhanced the a-amylase production under preoptimized fermentation conditions. Maximum enzyme yield (10.25 U/mL) was observed at 35°C after 24 hours of SSF in growth medium containing 0.1% yeast extract, 1% co...

Production of propionic acid by Propionibacterium shermanii CDB 10014 was enhanced by a pH value of 6.5 and by temperatures in the range 35-37 °C. Depending on the type of yeast extract, succinic acid can be produced in higher proportions, with decreasing propionic acid yields. With respect to propionic acid production, Difco yeast extract has shown the best results when yeast extract preparati...

This work is focused on the study of different microorganisms to obtain a high level of lipase. It was selected 6 different microorganisms: Geotrichum candidum NRRLY-552, Geotrichum sp., Fusarium oxysporum and three wild yeasts from Brazil rainforest. Fermentation carried out using agro industrial by-products like corn steep liquor and protein hydrolysed in shaken flasks under different conditi...
