Waste residual molasses, a non-edible portion produced during the processing of sugarcane juice for the preparation of molasses, may be an alternative low-cost renewable substrate to the pricey food-grade molasses for xanthan production. Systematic strategies were applied to improve xanthan production with a newly isolated indigenous strain Xanthomonas campestris originated from Tezpur, Assam. ...

the current study is an attempt to contribute for efficient and cost-effective substrates for xanthan gum production. in this context, the sugar cane molasses wastes can be used as a cheap substrate for xanthan gum production. xanthan biopolymer production by a novel xanthomonas campestris strain ibrc-m 10644 was optimized with statistical approaches. based on the results of response surface me...

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%. Observation...

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...

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide that is widely used as stabilizer and thickener with many industrial applications in food industry. Our aim was to estimate the ability of Xanthomonas campestris ATCC 13951 for the production of xanthan gum by using whey as a growth medium, a by-product of dairy industry. X. campestris ATCC 13951 has been studied in batch cultures using a complex medium for the d...

Background: Xanthomonas campestris is a biopolymer producing gram negative bacterium. Production of xanthan biopolymer can be affected by different extrinsic factors as well as surfactants. Hitherto, effects of nonionic surfactants on xanthan production have been studied in a limited number of articles.Objective: In the present study, nonionic surfactants...

xanthan gum is an extracellular polysaccharide produced by various xanthomonas species such as x. campestris . the objective of present study was to investigate the influence of different carbon and nitrogen sources on xanthan gum production by x. campestris . using an experimental response surface methodology (rsm) complemented with a central composite design (ccd), the impact of peptone, lact...

Cassava starch is a main renewable bio-resource with low price and mass production in Guangxi, China. It was used as carbon source in growing Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 8004 (Xcc 8004) for xanthan gum production in this study. The xanthan gum yield of gelatinized cassava starch was higher than that of raw cassava starch; the maximal reducing sugar and amylase activity reached 14.30 g...

Background Xanthan gum, a commercial microbial polysaccharide, has many industrial applications, including the tertiary recovery of oil, due to its unique rheological behavior (e. g. high viscosity at low concentrations, pseudoplasticity, solubility, stability over a wide range of pH values and temperatures, compatibility with many salts) [1]. Its production employs glucose or sucrose, which ra...

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...
