[Effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on tetracycline biosynthesis]

Abstract

The paper presents data on the effect of CO2 dissolved in the fermentation broth on biosynthesis of tetracycline. It was shown that there was optimal concentration of CO2 for the tetracyline-producing organism. As a result of the experiments the ranges of the optimal concentrations within 2 to 8 ml of CO2 per 100 ml of the fermentation broth were determined.
