Glucose as a carbon source

Inoculum. Pleurotus sajor-caju was grown at 30°C on the above medium containing 1% glucose as a carbon source in 250 ml Erlynmeyer flasks on rotary shaker at 200 rpm for 60 h. The mycelial biomass thus produced was blended in a Waring blender for 1 min. under aseptic conditions in order to obtain an homogenous inoculum of well dispersed mycelial bits. The inoculum was used at the rate of 10% vol/vol. The inoculated experimental Erlynmeyer flasks were incubated at 30 C on a rotary shaker at 200 rpm for various intervals of time. 

Woody plants can synthesize anywhere from 15-30% of all biomass as lignin. Hence, equivalent amounts of phenylalanine are required at some point, i.e., during lignin formation, large amounts of ammonia are recycled as a consequence of PAL activity. While plants have no serious problems in obtaining glucose as a carbon source, supplied abundantly through photosynthesis,... 

The Nippon Mining Company uses the soil micro-organism Nocardia corralina B-276 to produce a series of epoxides that are available commercially as single enantiomers. This micro-organism uses glucose as a carbon source and is not poisoned by the epoxides it produces. It also is very versatile as the selection 98 -104 shows. The two epoxides 103 and 104 are especially... 

Although carbon dioxide is plentiful in the natural environment it is only used in algae by photosynthesis. The usual source of carbon is via carbohydrates. Monosaccharides such as glucose are not found in nature, probably because if they are present they are rapidly utilised by cells [Lynch and Poole 1979]. Laboratory experimentation on the other hand, often uses glucose as a carbon source for the... 

Direct proof that this reductive TCA pathway participates in fumaric acid production came from C NMR experiments using [1- C] and [U- C] glucose as a carbon source for R. oryzae (Kenealy et al., 1986). The unexpectedly high fumaric acid molar yields can thus be explained in terms of pyruvate carboxylation as the initial reaction of a reductive TCA pathway (Figure 15.1).

The most widely used strain for the production of lA is A. terreus. A. terreus NRRL 1960 produces about 91g/L of lA using glucose as a carbon source (Kuenz et al., 2012). The A. terreus IMI282743 strain produced 5.76g/L of lAusing palm oil effluent as a carbon source...
