Nitrogen source for improved productions of microbial polysaccharides
Abstract
Abstract THE USE IN FERMENTATIONS OF ARTHROBACTER VISCOSUS NRRL R-1973 AND OTHER MICROBES SUCH AS XANTHOMONAS CAMPESTRIS THAT PRODUCE HIGH VISOCITY POLYASCCHARIDE GUM THICKENERS, IN AN AQUEOUS FERMENTATION MEDIA CONTAINING GLUCOSE, INORGANIC SALTS, AND AS THE SOLE NITROGE SOURCE KENAF OF THE WASTE RAW JUICE EXPRESSED FROM THE LONG FIBROUS SHAFTS OF THE SUBSTROPICAL PLANT, HIBISCUS CANNABINUS (ALSO KNOWN AS AMBARY HEMP WHICH PROVIDES CULTURE LIQUORS CONTAINING ABOUT TWICE AS MUCH POLYSACCHARIDE AND HAVING FAR HIGHER VISCOSITIES THAN THOSE OF PRIOR ART FERMENTATIONS WHEREIN THE CONVENTIONAL NITROGEN SOURCES FOR THE FERMENTATION ARE RESPECTIVELY ENZYMEHYDROLYZED CASEIN AND DISTILLERS SOLUBLES.
