Exopolysaccharide production by Ganoderma lucidum immobilised on polyurethane foam in a repeated-batch fermentation

Exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by Ganoderma lucidum BCCM 31549 immobilised on polyurethane foam (PUF) cubes exhibited high ability for continuous EPS production in a repeated-batch fermentation (RBF). RBF by immobilised mycelium was optimised for broth replacement time point and broth replacemen...
