Abstract

The aim of the present study was to assess the oxygen transfer rate and oxygen uptake rate in antibiotic fermentation. As a model study, cultures of Streptomyces kanamyceticus in a complex medium were analyzed to evaluate the oxygen transfer and uptake rates using oxygen balance technique. Quantitative evidence for the effect of oxygen transfer rate on the volumetric antibiotic production was clearly demonstrated. The oxygen uptake rates and the specific oxygen requirements were significantly changed with culture time. Those phenomena were indicative of biological turnover in the antibiotic fermentation.

통기발효에서 중요한 통기 및 진탕효과를 측정함에 있어 공기로부터 물속으로 용존해 가는 산소의 전달속도와, 용존된 산소가 미생물에 의해 흡수되는 속도를 산출하였다. 항생물질발효에서 통기효과는 현저하였으며, 배양시간에 따른 산소흡수 속도와 비산소흡수 속도가 변화하는 것을 알았다. 이러한 변화는 대사이차 산물인 항생물질생합성의 생화학적인 전환에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.
