THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH
To study and analyze the effect of aeration on the fermentation kinetics of Bacillus
thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk) cultivated in cereal milling byproduct (CMB) mono-
component medium in order to determine the optimum conditions for improving
the δ-endotoxin productivity.

Oxygen Transfer Rate Oxygen Uptake Rate Specific Oxygen Transfer Rate
The initial pH was 6,2 and slight variations were observed in all studies condition
with a pH in the range of 5,6 – 6,8 through out the fermentation, except for kL ɑ
equal to 7,2 h-1 where the pH decrease reach a low values 5,4
Variations of the specific growth rate and the maximum specific oxygen uptake rate for
the different values of kL ɑ
Productivity
Cell yields based on O2
The best toxin proteins productivity (85.7 mg/L/h) was reached in 6% CMB
culture medium for KLa of 65.5 h -1.
