Abstract
Xinlei studies on the production of pullulan by Aureobasidium pullulans using batch culture in a 15L bioreactor were carried out. The mathematical models were obtained in this study, which provided a reasonable description for the biomass, the product, and the substrate variation with time. The values frets the mathematical models were satisfactorily coincided with the experimental data for the biomass of A. pullulans, the production of pullulan and the utilization of sucrose as the sole carbon source.
