The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement. These hazard alerts do not take account of usage patterns or exposure, thus do not represent risk.

Usually supplied as a wettable powder which contains the microorganism as fluidised bed dried cells |
|
The commercial production of Aureobasidium pullulans DSM 14940 relies on controlled fermentation techniques to cultivate high concentrations of viable cells. The strain is grown in liquid culture media rich in carbohydrates, nitrogen sources, and trace minerals, under optimized conditions of temperature, pH, and aeration to promote biomass and metabolite production. Once the desired cell density is achieved, the culture is harvested and formulated into stable products. |
