the present study was undertaken to investigate and optimize the possibility of xanthan gum production by xanthomonas campestris ptcc1473 in 500ml shake flasks on the second grade date palm. using an experimental response surface methodology (rsm) coupled with a central composite design (ccd), three major independent variables (nitrogen source, phosphor source and agitation rate) were evaluated...

background and objective: lactobacillus plantarum is one of the probiotics species used in functional food products. these bacteria or their purified bacteriocins are used as biological preservatives in the food industry. the first step in production of an array of probiotic products is optimizing production in fermentors. this study aimed to examine factors affecting the in vitro growth optimi...

The work describes the production of alkaline protease in a lab scale fermentor from Bacillus subtilis IH-72. The production of alkaline protease was enhanced by optimization of cultural conditions in a stirred fermentor. The alkaline protease so produced was applied to the goat skin for the removal of hair. The skin pieces were treated in three different ways; singly with the enzyme, in combin...

A small laboratory fermentor which employs mechanical agitation for the dispersion of air introduced under pressure has previously been described by Feustel and Humfeld (1946). This fermentor has an operating capacity of 500 to 2,000 ml and has been found very useful for small-scale, yeast-culturing investigations, as well as for studies on the production of subtilin activity by Bacillus subtil...

[Abstract] In order to fabricate new dye-sensitised solar cell, we proposed a new photoresponsive electrode structure using bio nano process. Carbon nanotube-TiO2 hybrid materials having multitudious nano-sclae cavities were realized using a bifunctional cage-shaped protein possessing carbonaceous material-binding peptides and Ti-binding peptides. The obtained structure was confirmed to consist...

The productivity of enzyme fermentations depends critically on maintaining a high oxygen transfer rate to satisfy the optimal oxygen demand of the microorganism for product formation. Among the several factors that affect oxygen transfer rates in a fermentor are the air flow rate and agitation. The production of a-amylase by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was performed in 600-mL and 5-litre ferment...

Polygalacturonase production under different shear stress environments by Aspergillus sp. was studied. It was found that the rate of enzyme production in the stirred tank fermentor decreased with increasing the stirrer speed in the range 300-750 rpm. On the other hand, in a split cylinder air-lift fermentor, the rate of polygalacturonase production slightly increased with increasing in air ...
