Production of polysaccharides of high viscosity using xanthomonas campestris and glycoamylase with fluidized starch

摘要

Polysaccharide biopolymers, e.g., xanthan gum, are produced by the aerobic microbial fermentation of a carbohydrate in an aqueous nutrient medium containing starch as a source of carbon, and wherein the fermentation is carried out in the presence of a saccharide-specific amylolytic enzyme.
