Abstract

The dextran prodution by Leuconostoc mensenteroids NRRL-B512F was studied in a synthetic medium from sucrose as a sole carbon source. Especially, effect of nitrogen source was treated and compared in this study. In oder to maximize the cell growth and dextran produtivity through fermentation two nitrogen sources, yeast extract and tryptone, were used with various concentrations. At the end of fermentation, when the concentration of yeast extract was 9g/L we can obtain the maximum dry cell weight(14.1g/L), dextran dry weight(25.4g/L) and productivity(1.4g/L ${\cdot}$ hr).
