The Kinetics Both of Growth and Metabolite Production of X.CAMPESTRIS Using of 4% Liquid Sugar Substrate From Cassava Hydrolisate

Abstract

X. campestris is aerobic bacteria producing extracellular biopolymers (EPS, extracellular polysaccharide) known as xanthan gum. To determine the technology and the process conditions appropriate to the formation of this product, therefore the understanding of both the kinetics of growth and metabolite production of bacteria is needed. In this research, to assess the growth of X. campestris using the method of calculation of dry cell weight. For determining the kinetics of production of metabolite used substrates of 4% liquid sugar from cassava starch hydrolysate. From this research was showed that X. campestris maximum growth in NB medium obtained in about 58 th hour, at the growth rate of about 0.04 g / hour, stationary phase obtained at the 60 th hour with a maximum dry cell weight of 2.7688 g/L and specific growth rate (μ) of X. campestris amounted to 0.043 hour -1. Based on the kinetic curves both on growth and its metabolite production, X.campestris has non-growth associated product pattern. In this case the production of xanthan gum occured after cell growth stopped then its product is a secondary metabolite with highest amount of 3.73 g / L at 102 nd hour, ie the 4 th day of fermentation. Overall of this research indicated that Nutrient Broth (NB) may be used for the growth of X. campestris. But based on the value of μ above, the rate of cell reproduction was still low. Liquid sugar can be used as a substrate to produce xanthan gum. However to increase its productivity, there should be an addition of other carbon or energy and nitrogen sources.

Survivability of freeze- and spray-dried probiotics and their effects on the growth and health performance of broilers

“…Indeed, repair of the cell damage, including cell membrane damage and any oxidatively damaged biomolecules, must occur before engaging in reproduction, which leads to a longer period at the lag phase [ 32 ]. Metabolite production is correlated with the growth cycle of microorganisms [ 33 ], and the more extensive periods of repairing freeze-dried cells [ 18 ] can delay metabolic pathways during the exponential phase to produce primary and secondary metabolites, including bacteriocin. Because antimicrobial activity depends on the kinetics of growth [ 34 ], the longer lag phase found for damaged cells could influence antimicrobial activity at the specific period of growth.…”

“…The number of cells that grew was equal to those that died because food reserves started running low. In this phase, the bacteria will produce secondary metabolites as a defense mechanism against their environment and other microorganisms (Djenar and Mulyono, 2017). The bacterial consortium (in this research, the proportion of consortia is 50 %) secretes its extracellular enzymes to break down complex organic compounds into simpler ones (Allison et al, 2014).…”
