Abstract:
Experimental studies were carried out to produces L-glutamic acid with Brevibacterium roseum free cells, immobilized B. roseum and co-immobilized B. roseum and Escherichia intermedia type 1, production conditions were optimized with B. roseum free cells. Incubation time 96 h, pH 6.0, temperature 30°C, 150 rpm agitation and biotin 1.0 mg mL-1 were optimum for the maximum yield of glutamic acid. When the nutrient ingredients were optimized the glutamic acid yield increased to 40.5 mg mL-1. Immobilized B.roseum produced 37.2 mg mL-1 glutamic acid. Immobilized conditions like alginate concentration, calcium ion concentration, storage period of beads and initial cell loading were optimized. Co-immobilized B. roseum and Escherichia intermedia type-1 produced 39.6 mg mL-1 glutamic acid.
