摘要
Poly (gamma-glutamic acid) (PGA) is water-soluble, anionic, biodegradable, and edible biopolymer produced by Bacillus subtilis. It has multifarious potential applications in foods, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, water treatment and other fields. The production of PGA has already been established on the industrial scale. Various studies regarding the fermentative production, downstream processing and characterization of PGA have been reported in the literature. This review provides updated information on fermentative production of PGA by various bacterial strains and effect of fermentation conditions and media component on production of PGA in submerged as well as solid state fermentation. Information on the application of genetic engineering for enhancement of yield of PGA, kinetic studies for production of PGA in submerged fermentation and recovery and purification of PGA is included. An attempt has also been made to review the current and potential applications of PGA. This review may contribute to further development of this commercially and academically interesting biopolymer.
