Abstract: | In a mixed batch culture, Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans 260 transformed maleic acid into malic acid. Bacillus subtilis 271 used malic acid as a substrate, thus stimulating further transformation of maleic acid. Both bacterial cultures dissociated with the formation of R, S, and M forms. At a concentration of 5.0 g/l, maleic acid was utilized maximally by RS and SS forms of the association A. xylosoxidans and B. subtilis. At concentrations 15.0 and 25.0 g/l, maleic acid was utilized maximally by SS and MS forms of the mixed culture, respectively. Association of bacteria A. xylosoxidans and B. subtilis was not stable under flow conditions of water. |
