Notizen:
Wild-type Agrobacterium radiobacter NCIB 9042 has been cultivated in batch cultures on a synthetic medium which was adapted for growth and succinoglucan production. Experiments were carried out in a 4-L stirred-tank aerated reactor. Glucose, biomass, polysaccharide, protein, and inorganic- and organic-nitrogen concentrations were measured, and oxygen consumption and CO2 production rates were obtained by a gas-balance technique. Nitrogen balance shows that inorganic nitrogen is entirely recovered into proteins. The carbon balance is satisfied with in ±5%. Stoichiometric equations for biomass growth and succinoglucan synthesis were established. The biosyntheticpolymer pathways including ATP and cofactor consumption were investigated. From previous studies, a (P/O) value of 1.66 is selected for oxygen sufficient cultures. The actual ATP requirements of 25.4 mmol ATP/g succinoglucan (38.5 mol ATP/mol succinoglucan), determined by a metabolic analysis, is 2.39 times the stoichiometric value. Experimental results were modeled by a system of differential equations. The exponential growth phase was described by a nitrogen-limited Monod equation. Subsequent succinoglucan synthesis followed a slightly modified Luedeking-Piret relation partitioning internal and external polysaccharide. Experimentally determined coefficients are compared with published results for continuous culture of A. radiobacter NCIB 11883.
