The rates were monitored on biomass increase, polysaccharide production and viscosity development of whey broth and a control synthetic broth during fermentation by Rahnella aquatilis and organic acids, lactose, peptides and free amino acids were measured. Growth curves were similar and characterized by maximum specific growth rates of 0.61 h−1 for whey and 0.63 h−1 for synthetic medium. The yields of polysacch...
Production of lactan, a polysaccharide composed of mannose, galactose and galacturonic acid (at the ratio of 5:3:2), starting from a semidefined medium containing lactose via fermentation with Rahnella aquatilis was described previously. In this communication, such polysaccharide was produced from five alternative fermentation media: (1) a synthetic (defined) medium, plain whey (under (2) aerobic and (3) anaero...
