Anti-Candida bioassay guided optimization of the culture medium was used in order to enhance the antifungal activity of the soil isolate MS1. Its morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, as well as 16S rDNA sequencing, assigned an MS1 isolate to genus Streptomyces. Optimization of the culture medium was achieved by experimental factorial design and response surface methodology. Maximal antifungal components production was obtained with starch, soybean meal and phosphates content of 40.52, 5.10 and 2.21 g/L, respectively. Chromatography and 1H and 13CNMR spectroscopy were employed for purification and structural characterization of antifungal antibiotics concurrently produced by this strain. These antibiotics were identified as polyether carboxylic antibiotic nigericin and guanidyl-polyol macrolide, niphimycin.

A newly isolated fungusAspergillus nigerSOI017 was shown to be a good producer of β-glucosidase from all isolated fungal strains. Fermentation condition (pH, cellobiose concentration, yeast extract concentration, and ammonium sulfate concentration) was optimized for producing the enzyme in shake flask cultures. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of 4 fermentation parameters (yeast extract concentration, cellobiose concentration, ammonium sulfate concentration, and pH) on β-glucosidase enzyme production. Production of β-glucosidase was most sensitive to the culture medium, especially the nitrogen source yeast extract. The optimized medium for producing maximum β-glucosidase specific activity consisted of 0.275% yeast extract, 1.125% cellobiose, and 2.6% ammonium sulfate at a pH value of 3.
