초록

Extracellular polysaccharide was produced by Pseudomonas elodea NK-2000 under nitrogen limitation and aerobic condition, The effect of agiatation speed on cell growth and production of exopolymer was investigated. The agitation speed of 7.5 L fermentor ranged from 200 to 500 rpm. Production of exopolymer increased with higher agitation speed. Maximal cell growth and production of exopolymer from 2% glucose were 3.35 g/l and 3.80 g/l, respectively when agitation speed was 400 rpm.
