[Growth limitations and biosynthesis of gramicidin in Bacillus brevis var. G.-B].
Gramicidin S biosynthesis was studied in Bacillus brevis var. G.-B. during its batch and continuous cultivation when the culture growth was limited with nutrient sources (glycerol, ammonium nitrogen, phosphate), oxygen deficiency and the action of a physical factor (a low temperature). The antibiotic biosynthesis was shown to be induced by a change in the growth rate caused by the action of any factor decelerating the growth. The authors propose a mathematical model for the antibiotic synthesis, biomass accumulation and the utilization of a substrate limiting the growth. The model is based on the age separation of cells. The model is analyzed in terms of optimizing the one-stage continuous cultivation process. The model allows one to calculate optimal conditions of the antibiotic synthesis in the process of one-stage continuous cultivation.
