From: Improved curdlan production with discarded bottom parts of Asparagus spear
a Concentration of curdlan produced after 168Â h. All MJDA media produced higher mass of curdlan compared to CK. Curdlan production increased with respect to time but the increase from 96 to 168Â h was minimal. b Cell growth from 0 to 168Â h. Concentration of Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 cells in MJDA media were higher than CK. This contributed to the higher masses of curdlan produced in all MJDA. c Consumption of sucrose by Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 cells. The rate and concentration of sucrose utilized in all MJDA were higher than CK. MJDA media enhanced the cells ability to utilize glucose efficiently leading to improved curdlan production yield
