Abstract
Continuous production of the microbial polysaccharide Xanthan gum was studied at steady state conditions over a wide range of parameters. The specific rate of polymer production was found to pass through a maximum with varying dilution rate in a steady state chemostat. The optimal rate is nearly double than that in a batch and transient growth. Glucose consumption for maintentance of the cells show inverse trend to that of polymer production.
