[Effect of the quality of fat substrate on the dynamics of fatty acid utilization during biosynthesis of cephalosporin C].

Influence of the quality of the fats used on their utilization in the process of cephalosporin C fermentation and accumulation was studied. A decrease in the level of all the fractions of the fatty acids was observed during the fermentation process. The antibiotic yield with the use of oxidized fats was lower.

[Biotechnological grounds for the regulation of the component composition of cephalosporins in cultures of Acremonium chrysogenum].

The dynamics of cephalosporine C and desacetylcephalosporine C alterations in cultures of Acremonium chrysogenum 309A under different conditions was studied. It was shown expedient to determine the fermantation period by the data of HPLC. Genetic predisposition of the strain used to production of both cephalosporine C and desacetylcephalosporine C is discussed.

[Mass exchange conditions in penicillin biosynthesis in an industrial fermenter with aerodynamic foam suppressor].

The mass exchange characteristics of 50 m3 industrial fermentors with aerodynamic foam suppression and the effect of the specific power input on biosynthesis of penicillin were studied. A change in the specific power input from 1.3 to 1.
