Exopolysaccharide production by Lactobacillus casei. I: Influence of salts

Year: 1995

Type: article

Abstract: The addition of organic and inorganic salts to the culture medium influenced the growth characteristics and the exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by Lactobacillus casei. Best results were obtained with MnSO 4 which enhanced the synthesis of EPS as well as the cell viability and the production of lactic acid. The ropy characteristic of the cultures was only observed in presence of this salt. Triammonium citrate also stimulated the EPS formation while Mg 2+ and K + salts had a positive effect on colony counts
