[Effect of the cultivation temperature on gramicidin S biosynthesis under conditions of producer growth limitation by oxygen]. 1986

T P Udalova, and V G Bulgakova, and A N Polin, and N S Egorov

The gramicidin S-producing organisms Bacillus brevis was grown under submerged conditions in fermenters at a temperature of 32 degrees C which is the lower limit of the temperature ranges providing the culture growth. The culture was also grown under the optimal temperature conditions, i.e. 40 degrees C. At the lower temperature the biomass synthesis at the early stage of the culture development was decreased, the intensity of the cell respiration was low and solubility of oxygen in the liquid was increased. Under such conditions the decrease in the levels of dissolved oxygen in the medium was less pronounced than that under the control conditions. At the lower temperature limitation of the culture growth by the deficit of dissolved oxygen lowered and the period of the antibiotic synthesis increased which brought about a rise of the gramicidin S yield by 30-40 per cent.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D005285 Fermentation Anaerobic degradation of GLUCOSE or other organic nutrients to gain energy in the form of ATP. End products vary depending on organisms, substrates, and enzymatic pathways. Common fermentation products include ETHANOL and LACTIC ACID. Fermentations
D006096 Gramicidin A group of peptide antibiotics from BACILLUS brevis. Gramicidin C or S is a cyclic, ten-amino acid polypeptide and gramicidins A, B, D are linear.
