Vortex chamber for in situ recovery of the antibiotic myxovirescin A in continuous cultivation.
June 27th, 2008 | by admin |Vortex chamber for in situ recovery of the antibiotic myxovirescin A in continuous cultivation.
A vortex chamber for continuous adsorption of the antibiotic Myxovirescin A on XAD resins was developed. In this paper the design and use of the vortex chamber in an external bypass of a continuous process is described. Compared with the normal continuous process, the specific production rate of the antibiotic is four to five times higher when the antibiotic is continuously adsorbed. A semicontinuous process could be performed by using two chambers for adsorption and regeneration alternatively.
