Abstract
A freshly-prepared yeast extract at 30 or 50 g/l improved the growth of Bradyrhizobium japonicum SEMIA 587 in a 5-l stirred fermenter. Monosodium glutamate or a commercial yeast extract at 2.0 g/l almost doubled cell mass productivity and cell viability when added at the end of the first exponential growth phase.
