Abstract: | Cell growth and extracellular pullulanase production ofBacillus stearothermophilus G-82 were investigated in batch culture using a defined medium with glucose, maltose, pullulan or amylopectin as carbon source. Maximum enzyme activity was with pullulan or amylopectin. Cell growth in batch culture was better under oxygen unlimited conditions, while higher total and specific enzyme activities, using pullulan or amylopectin, were obtained in oxygen-limited conditions. Enzyme accumulation took place in the late growth phase. The highest enzyme production of 300 U/I was reached when pullulan was used as carbon source in conditions of oxygen limitation. |
