Scale up of dextran production from a mutant of Pediococcus pentosaceus (SPAm) using optimized medium in a bioreactor

The mutant of Pediococcus pentosaceus (SPAm) produced earlier by UV-mutagenesis exhibiting higher dextransucrase activity as compared to wild-type was used. The generated mutant SPAm gave 12.2 mg/ml, a 20% higher dextran than wild-type. Response surface methodology was carried out for further enhanc...
