PRODUCTION OF BACTERIA CELLULOSE BY AEROBIC CULTURE UNDER AGITATION UNDER HIGH OXYGEN-TRANSFER COEFFICIENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To promote a production rate of biocellulose in an aerobic culture under agitation. ;SOLUTION: Cellulosic materials are produced by culturing cellulose-producing bacteria at least for a predetermined period under a culturing condition containing 2wt.% of bacteria cellulose and having about 50-100/hr oxygen- transfer coefficient (KLa) measured by using a simulated solution having 15-20 poise plastic viscosity by using a horizontal type culturing device installed with a mixing blade on a horizontal shaft in a tank.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
