Improvement in Production and Quality of Gellan Gum by Sphingomonas paucimobilis Under High Dissolved Oxygen Tension Levels
2006
Banik, R. M | Santhiagu, A
The effect of agitation rate and dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) on growth and gellan production by Sphingomonas paucimobilis was studied. Higher cell growth of 5.4 g l-¹ was obtained at 700 rpm but maximum gellan (15 g l-¹) was produced at 500 rpm. DOT levels above 20% had no effect on cell growth but gellan yield was increased to 23 g l-¹ with increase in DOT level to 100%. Higher DOT levels improved the viscosity and molecular weight of the polymer with change in acetate and glycerate content of the polymer.
