“…Subculturing was done in every 45-day interval to maintain them viable. Submerged culturing was done in a standard basal medium (saccharine 30.0 g/L, yeast powder 5.0 g/L, peptone 5.0 g/L, MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O 1.0 g/L, and KH 2 PO 4 0.5 g/L) [37, 38]. Effect of medium capacity (50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mL), rotation speed (50, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 rpm) of culture medium, incubation time (2–10 days), pH (3.0–8.0), temperature (20, 23, 25, 27, 30, and 33°C), carbon sources (glucose, galactose, sucrose, mannitol, maltose, and fructose), nitrogen sources (yeast extract, peptone, NaNO 2 (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , and L-arginine HCL), and C/N (1 : 5, 1 : 10, 1 : 20, 1 : 30, and 1 : 40) ratio on EPS and IPS production was studied by orthogonal experiments using one-factor-at-a-time method.…”
