Abstract

Oxytetracycline (OT) production using glutaraldehyde cross-linked calcium alginate immobilized cells of Streptomyces varsoviensis in continuous fluidized bed reactor (FBR) was investigated. Initially, batch experiments were carried in stirred tank reactor (STR) and FBR using calcium alginate immobilized cells. Higher OT production of 0.45 gm/L was achieved by FBR when compared with 0.33 g/L of OT in STR. All subsequent studies were carried out in continuous mode of operation in FBR. During 21 days of operation, effect of glucose concentration and different dilution rates were studied. A maximum of 0.75 g/L OT was achieved in the medium having 10 g/L of glucose concentration. The highest OT concentration of 0.92 g/L and the highest yield of OT with respect to biomass at 0.1713 g/g were obtained at the dilution rate of 0.25 day-1.
