Preliminary study on degeneration of Gluconacetobacter xylinus in stationary culture
Degeneration of Gluconacetobacter xylinus is easily happened during shaking culture,but degeneration in stationary culture is little reported.This paper reported on factors which could induce degeneration of Ga.xylinus during static cultivation.The first factor was vessel or fermentation facility.When conical graduate was used,percentage of degeneration was higher; when volume of liquid medium in conical flask was more or fermentation time was longer,possibilities of degeneration were both higher.Based on our results,it suggested that there would be relationships between degeneration of Ga.xylinus and low concentrate of oxygen and lasting time in such a low oxygen.
