title: [Effect of citric acid on synthesis of surfactants in Rhodococcus erythropolis IMV Ac-5017].
abstract: Expediency of sodium citrate (regulator of lipids synthesis) substitution is shown in the medium of cultivation of Rhodococcus erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 with ethanol (or hexadecane) and fumarate (gluconeogenesis precursor) by citric acid for pH maintenance at the level optimal for synthesis of surfactants. It has been established the maximum synthesis of surfactants of R. erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 was observed at pH 8.0. Introduction of 0.2% sodium fumarate at the end of experimental growth phase of the strain IMV Ac-5017 in the medium with 2% of ethanol with further periodic acidification of culture liquid by citric acid up to pH 8.0 was accompanied by the increase of conditional concentration of surfactants by 30, 40 and 95% as compared with an analogous process without pH regulation, by the use of sodium citrate as the regulator of lipids synthesis on the medium with ethanol as well as without organic acids, respectively.
