Abstract:

In order to study optimal conditions for high productivity of exopolysaccharide (EPS), fermentation experiments of Bifidobacterium 22-5 were conducted through orthogonal design based on three factors: pH of fermentation medium, temperature of fermentation medium and inoculation amount. Results indicated that optimal fermentation conditions for high productivity of EPS from Bifidobacterium 22-5 were stable pH at 7.0 for fermentation broth, 31 ℃ as the fermentation temperature and 3.0% inoculation amount. Under these optimal conditions, the productivity of EPS reached 5.8 g/L with 1.75-fold enhancement.

Key words: Bifidobacterium, exopolysaccharide, orthogonal design
