Effect of pH and aeration on dextran production by Leuconostoc mesenteroides

Dextran fermentation by Leuconostoc mesenteroides was studied under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions with and without pH control. The maximum dextran yield was obtained as a result of higher yield, stability, and activity of dextransucrase when the oxygen transfer rate in the bioreactor was equ...

Summary:Dextran fermentation by Leuconostoc mesenteroides was studied under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions with and without pH control. The maximum dextran yield was obtained as a result of higher yield, stability, and activity of dextransucrase when the oxygen transfer rate in the bioreactor was equal to the maximum oxygen uptake rate of the organism, and the pH of the culture medium was 5.5.
