The strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum was tested on nutrient agar plate for its purity. This strain was further used for glutamic acid production under optimum growth conditions. Studies revealed that whole cells produce more glutamic acid compared to immobilized cells. It was also observed that among immobilized cells agarose produces more glutamic acid as compared to alginate. It was concluded that immobilized cells are more beneficial that whole cells as they are reusable and avoids chances of contamination hence cost effective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
