polygalacturonase production under different shear stress environments by aspergillus sp. was studied. it was found that the rate of enzyme production in the stirred tank fermentor decreased with increasing the stirrer speed in the range 300-750 rpm. on the other hand, in a split cylinder air-lift fermentor, the rate of polygalacturonase production slightly increased with increasing in air rate...

A small laboratory fermentor which employs mechanical agitation for the dispersion of air introduced under pressure has previously been described by Feustel and Humfeld (1946). This fermentor has an operating capacity of 500 to 2,000 ml and has been found very useful for small-scale, yeast-culturing investigations, as well as for studies on the production of subtilin activity by Bacillus subtil...

The productivity of enzyme fermentations depends critically on maintaining a high oxygen transfer rate to satisfy the optimal oxygen demand of the microorganism for product formation. Among the several factors that affect oxygen transfer rates in a fermentor are the air flow rate and agitation. The production of a-amylase by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was performed in 600-mL and 5-litre ferment...
