Nisin production by Lactococcus lactis using two-phase batch culture.
Nisin production by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis C2SmPrt-(TnNip) was investigated using two-phase batch culture. A solvent (phenyl-methyl silicone oil) was introduced in addition to the aqueous phase. The partition coefficient of this solvent in aqueous nisin varied as the cultivation medium changed, with a minimum value being 1.04. The two-phase batch culture supported a 21% increase in growth and a 24% increase in the level of nisin produced compared to the single-phase batch culture.
