Cefalosporin C fermentation - metabolism control.Peer-reviewed article

J. RAKYTA, L. WELWARD, R. KOŠALKO

The process of cephalosporin C fermentation where fats are utilized as a main source of carbon is needs very enough aeration. The concentration of dissolved oxygen is one of the principal parameters for cephalosporin C production. There was developed a scheme for soya fat dosing in relation with the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the fermentation broth which enables the maintenance of an optimal concentration of O₂ during the whole time of fermentation in the conditions of satisfactory saturation of the culture with carbon sources and a good CFS-C yield.
