Abstract:
This invention provides a fermentation method of producing gellan gum, wherein a certain amount of fermentation broth is retained in the fermentor as a seed for next batch fermentation or transferred to another fermentor as a seed for next batch fermentation in that fermentor. The fermentation method of this invention reduces fermentation cost of gellan gum and lowers contamination risk during seed cultivation.

Claim (Index 9):
A fermentation method of producing gellan gum comprises the following steps:\n 1) Strain activation; 2) Inoculating the activated strain into the medium in a fermentor, starting fermentation; 3) During the fermentation, preferably from 5 hours to the end of the fermentation, more preferably from 20 hours to 48 hours, most preferably from 36 hours to 48 hours, taking a certain amount of fermentation broth as a seed, while the remaining broth continues fermenting; 4) Inoculating the seed obtained from Step 3) into the next batch of medium to start fermentation.
