Abstract
UsingCephalosporium acremonium ATCC 14553, we studied on the important factors in fermentation. Those factors were: carbon and nitrogen sources, methionine effect, adsorbent effect, fermentation variables in a batch fermentation, effect of reuse of its cellular biomass as a reusable nutrient, and 2,4-dinitrophenol effect on cephalosporin C production.
