풀루란 발효에서 500rpm에서 통기속도를 0.5vvm, 1.0vvm, 2.0vvm으로 증가시켰을 때 최대 비성장속도는 $0.168(hr^{-1})$에서 $0.192({hr^{-1})$로 증가되었으며 풀루란의 최대 비생산속도는 $0.046({hr^{-1})$에서 $0.093({hr^{-1})$으로 증가되었다. 풀루란 발효액의 물성은 power-law를 따르는 Pseudoplasticity를 나타냈으며 Power-law 변수들과 풀루란 농도 사이에는 $lnK(t)=ln({ au})_o-n(t);ln({gamma})_o$와 $K(t)=AP(t)^B$의 상관관계를 보였다.
In polysaccharide fermentation with Aureobasidium pullulans, the aeration effects on the production of polysaccharide and the rheological properties of fermentation broth were studied. The increase of the aeration rates from 0.5 to 2.0vvm at 500 rpm yielded the maximum specific production rate of polysaccharide from 0.046 to $0.093 (hr^{-1})$, and the maximum specific growth rate of cells from 0.168 to $0.192 (hr^{-1})$. The viscosity behavior of fermentation broths at the different aeration rates followed the power-law ${ au}= K({gamma})^n$. The viscosity attributed by cells was about 10% of the total viscosity of fermentation broth and most of viscosity was attributed by the polysaccharide produced. The relationship between power-law parameters and the concentration of polysaccharide generally satisfied the etㄴrations with the regression coefficient greater than 0.980, $lnK(t)= ln({ au})_o-n(t);ln({gamma})_o;and;K(t)=A P(t)^B$.
