ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing highly concentrated poly-glutamic acid with the additional supply of saccharides, more specifically, to a method for manufacturing of highly concentrated poly-glutamic acid with high yield, but without formation of undesirable side products by culturing a microorganism of Bacillus species. Under a fed batch or batch condition while saccharides are additionally supplied to the culture. Since the method for manufacturing highly-concentrated poly-glutamic acid can be applicable to the industrial scale fermentation, mass production of poly-glutamic acid can be feasible in a cost-efficient way.

Keywords: Poly-glutamic acid, Saccharides, Bacillus sbutilis
