The influence of carbon source and cultivation conditions on the synthesis of xanthan gum by Xanthomonas campestris bacteria VKPM B-6720 and its properties
Xanthan gum biosynthesis has been performed using the Xanthomonas campestris bacterial strain VKPM B-6720, sucrose, and glucose contained in molasses and wheat hydrolysate respectively. Cultivation has been carried out in flasks in a shaker incubator and in a forced-air aeration system. Carbohydrate consumption, the am...
