Production of thermostable pullulanase from Bacillus Flavothermus KWF-1 in fed-batch culture

Production of thermostable pullulanase from Bacillus Flavothermus KWF-1 in fed-batch culture

Optimization of pullulanase production by Bacillus flavothermus KWF-1 in fed batch cultures was carried out using 2 L bioreactor with working volume of 1.5 L. Fermentation was initiated with batch culture at 50'C and agitation speed of 200 rpm using PYE medium consisted of 2.0% (w/v) sago statc...
