Abstract:
The effects of inorganic and organic nitrogen sources on synthesis and secretion of gentamicin in shake flask fermetation were studied. (NH 4) 2SO 4,NaNO 3 and various amino acids were added initially and in biosynthesis phase. The results showed that total potency increased by 23% when the concentration of (NH 4) 2SO 4 was 0.1g/L; component of gentamicin was also influenced by (NH 4) 2SO 4; total potency incresased by 55% when 8g/L NaNO 3 was added at 24h; secretion ratio increased by 33% when 8g/L NaNO 3 was added intially; total potency increased by 64% when 0.8g/L lysine was added in the biosynthesis phase. At the same time, verified experiment was done in the resting cell system.
