In this study, the influence of cultivation time on xanthan biosynthesis by different Xanthomonas strains, reference strain and crucifers’ and pepper leaves’ isolates, was examined. Biopolymer was produced by submerged cultivation of fourteen producing strains on medium with glycerol as a sole carbon source. Each experiment was performed at a laboratory level under aerobic conditions at 30°C and 150 rpm for 168 h and 240 h. Bioprocess efficacy was estimated based on the xanthan quantity and its average molecular weight that was selected as quality parameter. According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that all applied strains have a statistically significant effect on xanthan concentration in medium and on its average molecular weight, while cultivation time significantly affect the bioprocess efficacy only when biosynthesis is performed by Xanthomonas strains isolated from crucifers. Further, when only Xanthomonas strains isolated from crucifers are observed, statistically obtained data suggest that the largest amount of the best quality xanthan in applied experimental conditions can be accomplished by the cultivation of CB strain for 240 h. On the other hand, when it comes to Xanthomonas strains isolated from pepper leaves, the highest productivity is shown by PL 2, PL 4 and PL 5 strains regardless of the cultivation time, while the PL 3 strain was responsible for the synthesis of biopolymers with the highest average molecular weight. The results obtained in this study represent valuable information for development of biotechnological process for xanthan production on glycerol containing media using new producing strain.
