Heterotrophic Fed-Batch Cultures of Nostoc flagelliforme and Production of Extracellular Polysaccharides
Abstract:
Nostoc flagelliforme is a kind of terrestrial cyanobacterium with high economic value. Dissociated cells, which separated from a natural colony of N. flagelliforme, could be cultivated heterotrophically in the darkness on xylose and glucose under fed-batch culture conditions. Growth and extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) production in different cultures are investigated. At harvest time, the cultures contain 1.215 g•L-1 of biomass and 122.5 mg•L-1 of EPS respectively. The gravimetric EPS production rate is 17.5 mg•g-1•day-1, which is 1.65 times higher than previously reported results for heterotrophic Nostoc flagelliforme grown on xylose batch culture.
