Gibberellic acid production by free and immobilized cells in different culture systems

Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2004 Spring:113-116:381-8. doi: 10.1385/abab:114:1-3:381.

Abstract

Gibberellic acid production was studied in different fermentation systems. Free and immobilized cells of Gibberella fujikuroi cultures in shake-flask, stirred and fixed-bed reactors were evaluated for the production of gibberellic acid (GA3). Gibberellic acid production with free cells cultured in a stirred reactor reached 0.206 g/L and a yield of 0.078 g of GA3/g biomass.
