  • Effect of carbon sources including agro-industrial byproduct on cell growth and production of curdlan by Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 was investigated. Maximal production of curdlan was obtained when the carbon source was sucrose. The conversion rate of curdlan from 2% (w/v) sucrose was 59%. Glucose, mannose and maltose were also found to be good carbon sources for production of curdlan. Production of curdlan increased up to 3% (w/v) glucose as the carbon source and then decrease as the concentration of glucose increased. The major components of agro-industrial byproduct (AIB) were glucose, maltose, and maltose, and maltotriose. Agrobacterium sp.ATCC 31749 utilized up to 25% (v/v) AIB and produced curdlan with 29.8g/1.
