Reaction Steps

An aqueous culture medium was prepared to contain 10 g/dl glucose, 1.5 g/dl ammonium sulfate, 0.1 g/dl KH2PO4, 0.04 g/dl MgSO4. 7H2O, 0.001 g/dl MnSO4. 4H2O, 250 μg/l biotin, 200 μg/l thiamine.HCl, 1.5 ml/dl soybean protein hydrolyzate (containing 6.5 g total nitrogen/dl) and 5 g/dl CaCO3 (separately sterilized) and adjusted to pH 7.0 with KOH. Twenty ml batches of the aqueous culture medium were placed in 500 ml shaking flasks and heated at 110° C. for 10 minutes with steam.
