Studies on the Amino Acids Fermentation of Pentose Materials Part II. Formation of Amino Acids from Pentoses and Hexoses By Brevibacterium pentoso-aminoacidicum nov. sp

Abstract

Fundamental studies on the cultural conditions for the amino acids production frompentoses and hexoses employing a strain of our new isolates named Brevibacterium pentosoaminoacidicumnov. sp. were carried out.
As a result of these experiments, it became possible to obtain about 30% of alanine and10% of L-glutamic acid based on xylose, and alanine from glucose with a yield of about 40% in the proper conditions.
