TLDR
The nutrient medium, temperature and initial pH conditions were optimised for batch dextran production in shake flask fermentations using a strain of Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B 512 (F) and the optimal values of tested variables were found to be sucrose, yeast extract and K2HPO4.Abstract:
The nutrient medium (containing sucrose, yeast extract and K2HPO4), temperature and initial pH conditions were optimised for batch dextran production in shake flask fermentations using a strain of Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B 512 (F). A 25−1 fractional factorial central composite experimental design was attempted. Multistage Monte Carlo optimization program was used to maximize the multiple regression equation obtained. The optimal values of tested variables for maximal dextran production were found to be: sucrose, 300 g/l; yeast extract, 10 g/l; K2HPO4, 30 g/l; temperature, 23°C and initial pH 8.3 with a predicted dextran yield of 154 g/l.read more

New method for manufacture of dextran, dextran solution obtained, and uses
TL;DR: In this paper, a culture medium containing sucrose is inoculated with a preculture of a bacterial strain that is able to produce dextran, then the dextrans solution obtained at the end of fermentation is recovered directly, without a subsequent concentration step.

Medium development for xanthan production
TL;DR: Mineral sources such as CaCO3 and KH2PO4 proved to be important factors influencing polysaccharide production and quality and the use of high carbon to nitrogen ratios in the defined medium resulted in a major increase in the broth consistency index.
