[0076] Fermentation broth viscosity test:

[0077] 50 mL of fermentation liquid was taken out from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 at regular intervals and placed in a small beaker so that the end of the rotor was submerged by the fermentation liquid. The rotational viscometer NDJ-1 was started and the result was recorded after the reading stabilized after two rotations, which was the viscosity of the fermentation liquid. Figure 1 As shown, as the fermentation time increases, the viscosity of the nutrient solution in Examples 1-5 reaches the highest value at 24-26h, indicating that the gellan gum yield is the highest at this time. At the same time, the viscosity in Control Example 1 is much lower than that in Examples 1-5, indicating that bagasse extract plays an important role in the production of gellan gum.

[0078] Gellan gum production detection:

[0079] The gellan gum powder obtained in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 was weighed, and the gellan gum yield was calculated according to the following formula:

[0080] Gellan gum yield = powder weight / fermentation liquid volume;

[0081] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the gellan gum produced by Examples 1-5 is much greater than that of Control Example 1, indicating that the sugarcane bagasse extract is helpful for bacterial biosynthesis of gellan gum. The gellan gum yield of Example 5 is the highest, which may be due to the addition of the most cellulase, which can process the sugarcane bagasse to generate a larger proportion of monosaccharides.
