Enhanced Production of Acarbose and Concurrently Reduced Formation of Impurity C by Addition of Validamine in Fermentation of <i>Actinoplanes utahensis</i> ZJB-08196

<table>Time courses of acarbose accumulation, maltose and glucose consumption, cell growth and impurity C formation during batch cultivation of <i>A. utahensis </i>ZJB-08196 with the addition of validamine at a final concentration of 20 mg/L in fermentation medium prior to inoculation. Symbols: ■: acarbose; ▲: impurity C; •: DCW; □: maltose; ○: glucose; △: osmolality. Fermentations were carried out at 28°C and 200 rpm for 216 h.</table>
