In this study, a process of removing a half volume of culture broth and replacing it with an equal volume of substituted solution was developed to enhance the production of heteropolysaccharide-7 (PS-7) by Beijerinckia indica HS-2001. The optimal substitution time and volume of the substituted solution were found to be 48 h after cultivation and 50% of the initial volume of the culture broth. The optimal composition of the substituted solution was determined to be 20.0 g/L glucose, 10.0 g/L soybean pomace, 0.1 g/L MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O, 0.9 g/L NH 4 NO 3 , and 5.0 g/L potassium phosphate, which was the same composition as the medium developed in a previous study for the production of PS-7 by B. indica HS-2001. The total amount and productivity of PS-7 by B. indica HS-2001 with a substitution under optimized conditions in a 7 L bioreactor for 96 h were 49.28 g and 0.51 g/h, respectively, which were 1.76 and 1.31-foldgreater values than those without a substitution for 72 h.
