“…The seed culture was performed in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask with 50 ml of YPD medium (yeast extract, 10 g/l; peptone, 20 g/l; glucose, 20 g/l) in a shaking incubator at 30 o C and 150 rpm. The fermentor culture was performed in a 2.5 l jar fermentor (KoBiotech, Republic of Korea) with an initial working volume of 880 ml, which was prepared by mixing 800 ml of CSH medium [CSL, 20 ml/l; (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , 1.2 g/l; KH 2 PO 4 , 2.4 g/l; and MgSO 4 •7H 2 O, 1.2 g/l were dissolved in the hydrolysate of seaweed S. sagamianum] [17,25] and 80 ml of seed culture. During fermentation, the temperature, pH, and agitation speed were maintained at 30 o C, 5.0, and 200 rpm, respectively.…”
