Exopolysaccharide production by Acremonium diospyri in continuous culture.

Production of an exopolysaccharide (glucan) by Acremonium diospyri was not markedly affected by its specific growth rate, the culture pH or the stirrer speed under NH 4 (+) -limiting chemostat conditions. The exopolysaccharide was also detected in the medium under conditions of NH 4 (+) excess.
