Optimum culture conditions of cell growth and polysaccharide production by Paecilomyces japonicain batch culture

To examine effects of agitation and aeration as well as adding of glucose and yeast extract on cell growth and polysaccharide production by Paecilomyces japonica, batch culture was carried out at 5L jar fermenter at $27^{\circ}C$ with the initial pH 7 for 7 days cultivation(innoculum size 2%, working volume 3L). Media compositions(g/L) were 30 glucose, 20 yeast extract, 0.5 $KH_2PO_4$, $0.1\;CuCl_2\;{\cdot}\;2H_2O$. Optimum culture conditions of agitation and aeration in batch culture were 400 rpm and 1.0 vvm, resulting in 23.1 g/L biomass and 2.5 g/L polysaccharide. Additional feeding of glucose and yeast extract with a pulse mode conferred an advantage on cell growth and polysaccharide production with showing the results of 29.2 g/L and 3.3 g/L, respectively.

회분배양에서 교반속도와 통기량에 대한 영향을 살펴본 결과 400 rpm과 1.0 vvm의 조건에서 균체량은 25.1 g/L, 다당체는 2.5 g/L로 가장 높게 생성되었다. 회분배양을 기초로 균체량과 다당체 생성을 높이기 위해 glucose를 대수기에 공급한 결과 배양 6일째 균체량은 29,2 g/L, 다당체 생성은 3.3 g/L로 회분배양보다 우수한 결과를 보였다.
