Abstract
The effect of air flow rate upon scleroglucan production in batch cultures of S. glucanicum NRRL 3006 cultivated in airlift reactor with internal loop was studied using air flow rates from 0.25 m3/h to 1.00 m3/h. Biomass formation was favoured at high air flow rates (with maximum biomass at 0.75 m3/h), whilst scleroglucan synthesis was highest at relatively low air flow rates (maximal at 0.40 m3/h). S. glucanicum had a maximum specific growth rate of 0.018 h−1 at 0.75 m3/h.
