Abstract:
A high -producing strain of pullulanase Z-13 was isolated from the soil near a starch-processing factory. The initial activity was 5.7 U/mL. Based on 16S rDNA sequence homology analysis, Z-13 was identified as WTBXklebsiella variicola,WTBZwith its physiological and biochemistry characters. The optimum fermentation condition for Z-13 was determined as follows: corn starch 1.5%, peptone 2.0%, KH
2PO4 0.05%, MgSO
4·7H2O 0.01%.When cultured at optimum fermenting conditions (studied as follows: the content of flask is 70 L/250 L, the inoculation quantity was 8%, cultured at pH 6.0, 30 ℃, 200 r/min for 48 hours), the activity of pullulanase produced by Z-13 reached the peak at 67.8 U/mL, which was 11.89 times as the initial activity.
