Sequential Optimization Approach for Enhanced Production of Poly(g-Glutamic Acid) from Newly Isolated Bacillus subtilis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A bacterial strain of marine origin showing production of poly(g-glutamic acid) (PGA) has been identified by taxonomical and 16S rRNA studies as Bacillus subtilis. A sequential optimization approach was applied for improving the PGA production. The effect of carbon sources, nitrogen sources and pH on the production of PGA was investigated by one factor-at-a-time method. Plackett-Burman design was then adopted to select the most important nutrients influencing the yield of PGA. After identifying the most significant nutrients, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to develop a mathematical model to identify the optimum concentrations of the key nutrients for higher PGA production, and confirm its validity experimentally. PGA production was further improved by supporting the medium with a-ketoglutaric acid. The PGA production increased from 7.64 to 25.38 g/L by using the sequential optimization methods.

متن کاملPoly-γ-Glutamic Acid (PGA)-Producing Bacillus Species Isolated from Kinema, Indian Fermented Soybean Food
Kinema, an ethnic fermented, non-salted and sticky soybean food is consumed in the eastern part of India. The stickiness is one of the best qualities of good kinema preferred by consumers, which is due to the production of poly-γ-glutamic acid (PGA). Average load of Bacillus in kinema was 10(7) cfu/g and of lactic acid bacteria was 10(3) cfu/g. Bacillus spp. were screened for PGA-production and...

Optimization of the fermentation medium for maximum alkaline protease production was carried out. Fifteen positive isolates were examined for their extent of alkaline protease production. The most potent producer was identified as Bacillus sp. The solid substrate screening showed that the combination of wheat straw and bean husk was the best one. The initial screening by using Plackett–Burman’s...
متن کاملImprovement of Bacillus subtilis for poly‐γ‐glutamic acid production by genome shuffling
Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is a promising microbial polymer with potential applications in industry, agriculture and medicine. The use of high γ-PGA-producing strains is an effective approach to improve productivity of γ-PGA. In this study, we developed a mutant, F3-178, from Bacillus subtilis GXA-28 using genome shuffling. The morphological characteristics of F3-178 and GXA-28 were not ident...
متن کاملConversion of the nitrogen content in liquid manure into biomass and polyglutamic acid by a newly isolated strain of Bacillus licheniformis.
Extensive spreading of liquid manure onto agricultural fields causes eutrophication of ground and surface water and also pollution of the atmosphere due to the high ammonium nitrogen content. A poly(gamma-glutamic acid) (PGA)-producing strain of Bacillus licheniformis was isolated in this study and investigated for its ability to reduce the ammonium nitrogen by converting ammonium into biomass ...
