Effect of surface active agents on biosynthesis of L-lysine.Peer-reviewed article

F. SMÉKAL, J. PELECHOVÁ, B. HLADÍKOVÁ

The effect of several types of polar and nonpolar tensides on the biosynthesis of L-lysine using the strain Corynebacterium glutamicum in the production phase of a cultivation was tested. Surface active agents such as Na-laurylsulphate, cetyltrimethylamonium bromide and Triton X-100 significantly inhibit the biosynthesis of an essential amino acid. Only the definite concentrations of Tween 60 and Tween 80 have a stimulating effect on a production of L-lysine. Using Tween the yiels was increased about 10 to 30 %.
