Volumetric Oxygen Transfer Coefficient Effect on Biomass, Bioactive Compounds Production, and Kinetic Behavior of G. lucidum in Submerged Culture Using a Complex Medium.
Abstract:The effect of volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficient (KLa) on the biomass and the commercial interest biomolecules production, was studied in the Ganoderma lucidum submerged culture using a lowcost complex medium. The batch culture was carried out in a 14 L stirred tank bioreactor, a KLa initial value set at 5.3 h -1 had a positive effect on exopolysaccharides production, achieving a maximum concentration of 1.15 g/L, under this condition, biomass production was negatively affected. An increase in the KLa… Show more
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.
