Influence of bioreactor design on exopolysaccharide production byAureobasidium pullulans

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Exopolysaccharide yields byAureobasidium pullulans were affected by the bioreactor configuration in batch culture. However the yields obtained in the stirred-tank and airlift vessels were also dependent on the nitrogen source used, and independent of cell morphology.
