Abstract
The effect of nutrients of natural source, such as corn steep liquor, peptone, and yeast extract, on the fermentative production of L-glutamic acid from hydrocarbons by a
Corynebacterium
was studied. Corn steep liquor and meat extract were found to be remarkably stimulatory to L-glutamic acid production; about 5 g per liter of L-glutamic acid were accumulated in a culture broth containing 3%
n
-paraffins, 0.01% corn steep liquor, and mineral salts. Among nutritional factors contained in corn steep liquor, biotin had very little effect on the accumulation of L-glutamic acid, but thiamine was highly stimulatory to L-glutamic acid production. The optimal concentration of thiamine for L-glutamic acid production was 3 to 5 μg per liter, and for cell growth, 50 μg per liter. L-Glutamic acid was accumulated in negligible quantity when the amount of thiamine in the culture broth was sufficient to support abundant growth of bacterial cells.
