摘要:
The invention concerns a method for producing exopolysaccharides by fermenting micro-organisms characterised in that it consists in carrying out the fermentation in a nutrient medium comprising at least a source of carbon available to the micro-organisms and at least a source of nitrogen, said source being derived from a fraction of carob seed.
摘要:
Variant xanthan gums, including non-acetylated, non-pyruvylated, non-acetylated and non-pyruvylated, and fully-acetylated xanthan gums. In addition, in vitro and in vivo methods for the synthesis of these gums are disclosed. Mutant Xanthomonas campestris strains useful in these synthesis are also specified.
摘要:
A xanthan gum-containing fermented solution is subjected to an enzyme treatment for solubilizing the microbial cells present in the fermented solution. While the fermented solution having undergone the enzyme treatment is maintained at a temperature of 50 to 80°C, and xanthan gum is precipitated by adding an hydrophilic organic solvent incapable of dissolving xanthan gum to the fermented solution. When a rotary turbine is used, the precipitate can be cut with a shearing cutter to recover a finely-divided fibrous product.
摘要:
A novel enzyme composition capable of lysing or digesting cells or cellular debris of polysaccharide-producing bacteria in the presence of the exopolysaccharides without any significant degradation of the exopolysaccharides. Methods for preparing the enzyme composition, using the composition to clarify mixtures of polysaccharides and cellular debris, and pure cultures for making the enzyme are disclosed.
摘要:
Variant xanthan gums, including non-acetylated, non-pyruvylated, non-acetylated and non-pyruvylated, and fully-acetylated xanthan gums and other gums which are structurally-related to xanthan gum such as acetylated polytetramer and non-acetylated polytetramer. In addition, in vitro and in vivo methods for the synthesis of these gums are disclosed. Mutant X. campestris strains useful in these syntheses are also specified.
摘要:
A strain of Xanthomonas campestris , ATCC No. 55,096, having the capability to assimilate lactose, is disclosed. This particular strain produces relatively large quantities of xanthan gum as well as β-galactosidase.
