Comparative studies on the cultivation of Xanthomonas campestris in submerged culture for the production of xanthan using the traditional industrial stirred tank reactor and a novel oscillatory baffled bioreactor
Xanthan is a well-known extracellular polysaccharide, produced by a Gram negative bacterium Xanthomonas campestris (X. campestris) under aerobic conditions. Solutions of xanthan exhibit high viscosities and non-Newtonian behaviour even at low concentrations. This biopolymer has a wide range of valua...
