Method for fermentation of marine bacteria

摘要

We have developed methods for low-cost fermentation of marine bacteria. A cost- and performance-optimized culture medium containing liver digest and suitable salts was developed and compared to currently available culture media. Cell counts as high as 102/ml were achieved, and growth was supported for a variety of marine strains tested to date. Large scale fermentation of marine bacteria is a promising approach for producing commercially valuable biopolymers for industrial applications.
