Process and molecular data of branched 1,3-β-D-glucans in comparison with Xanthan
Tóm tắt
Bioreactor cultivations were carried out with Schizophyllum commune and Xanthomonas campestris. Influence of process parameters and downstream processing on molecular data (molecular weight, intrinsic and shear viscosity) of the secreted exopolysaccharide are shown. Glucan formation of S. commune was enhanced by oxygen limitation. Depending on the type of agitator used, a maximum glucan formation rate of 0.12 kg/(m3 · h) was reached. During cultivation molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity went through a broad maximum with maximum data of 1.3 107 g/mol and 15,400 cm3/g, respectively. After substrate consumption glucan degrading enzymes (glucananses) were released by S. commune. For washing out low molecular substances and concentrating cellfree glucan solutions cross-flow filtration technique with hollow fiber cartridges (molecular cut-off 100,000) were used. After this procedure the shear and intrinsic viscosity were decreased. In contrast to Xanthan, shear viscosity of glucan solutions was not affected by a change in pH from 2 to 12. The intrinsic viscosity of aqueous Xanthan and glucan solutions was opposingly altered by adding salt.
