Optimization of octanoic acid and sulfur donor concentrations for lipoic acid production by Pseudomonas reptilivora.

abstract：:Most animal cell culture media can be buffered using bicarbonate and high pressure CO(2) in a closed system. However, in an open system, the pH of the culture media increases continuously due to the marked difference in CO(2) pressure between the culture media and the atmosphere. Therefore, it is important to measure ...
