Abstract
Additions of 50 to 100 mu g of acid-hydrolysed alginate oligosaccharides ml (-1) and enzyme-hydrolysed pectin oligosaccharides to 24- to 48-h cultures of Penicillium chrysogenum, ATCC 9480, led to enhanced production of chryso genin by over 30 to 40% in shaken flasks and bioreactors. Some of the oligo saccharides also promoted biomass formation but were not used as a carbon s ource.
