Abstract: | Isoamylase production in batchwise and fed-batch cultures of Pseudomonas amyloderomosa (strain WU7211-2) was investigated. By feeding maltose in a mode motivated by its structure gene (iam), the final isoamylase activity of 5100 U/ml was achieved, as compared to 4100 U/ml in batch cultivation and 3800 U/ml in shaken flasks. The enhancement may be due to the fact that the production of isoamylase can be induced effectively by the maltose only if the glucose concentration is maintained below the inhibitory level. Also, cultivations based on 500-ml shaken flasks, performed with different amount of proteimax HE90, showed that higher amounts of proteimax HE90 resulted in an increased value of pH that had an adverse effect on isoamylase yield.The authors wish to thank the Food Industry Research and Development Institute (FIRDI), Taiwan, R.O.C for the financial support (Cooperative Agreement 94M904-2B). Appreciation is also extended to Drs. C.C. Liao, W.S. Chu and L.L. Lin of FIRDI for their valuable discussions. |
