“…S. galbus and C. neoformans were maintained on GYM plates (0.4% glucose, 0.4% yeast extract, 1% malt extract, 0.2% calcium carbonate, and 2% Bacto agar) at 30°C. For GAL production, the preculture of S. galbus was grown at 28°C with vigorous shaking in GAL production medium, which contained 0.8% glucose, 0.4% yeast extract, 1% malt extract, and 1 mM L-isoleucine (13). After 3 days, the production culture was initiated in GAL production medium, with 1 ⁄ 10 volume of inoculum from the preculture, and maintained for 48 h at the same condition.…”
