results however the maximum production of avermectin b1b (17 mg/l) was obtained by using sm2 growth medium containing soluble corn starch, yeast extract, kcl, caco3 and mgso4 which was detected qualitatively by using tlc and quantitatively by hplc. conclusions maximum production was observed with initial medium ph of 7, 10% inoculum size with incubation temperature of 31°c for 10 days of fermen...

Both lactic acid productivity and cell growth were linearly correlated with yeast extract supplementation in batch fermentation. During conventional continuous operation, although fresh feed was introduced into the bioreactor with a significantly low dilution rate (0.04 h(-1)), the amount of yeast extract employed was not enough to maintain the growth of microorganism. However, when the fresh f...

The xylanase production by Cochliobolus sativus strain Cs6 was improved under solid state fermentation (SSF). High xylanase activity (1079 U/g) was obtained when wheat straw was used after 8 days of incubation. Combinations of sodium nitrate with peptone or yeast extract resulted in an increased xylanase production (1543 and 1483 U/g, respectively). The Cs6 strain grown in SSF in a simple mediu...

Previous reports from this laboratory have described the isolation of 6-hydroxynicotinic acid and 6-0x0-1 ,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinic acid from the reaction media of a clostridial species grown on nicotinic acid (1). Bn enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of nicotinic acid to HNA’ has been purified from extracts of this microorganism (2). Since fortified crude extract of this Clostrid...

BACKGROUND For economical bioethanol production from lignocellulosic materials, the major technical challenges to lower the production cost are as follows: (1) The microorganism should use efficiently all glucose and xylose in the lignocellulose hydrolysate. (2) The microorganism should have high tolerance to the inhibitors present in the lignocellulose hydrolysate. The aim of the present work ...

Selection of the raw material and its efficient utilization are the critical factors in economization of second generation (2G) ethanol production. Fermentation of the released sugars into ethanol by a suitable ethanol producing microorganism using cheap media ingredients is the cornerstone of the overall process. This study evaluated the potential of rice bran extract (RBE) as a cheap nitrogen...
