Streptomycessp. JAJ06 is a seawater-dependent antibiotic producer, previously isolated and characterised from an Indian coastal solar saltern. This paper reports replacement of seawater with a defined salt formulation in production medium and subsequent statistical media optimization to ensure consistent as well as improved antibiotic production byStreptomycessp. JAJ06. This strain was observed to be proficient to produce antibiotic compound with incorporation of chemically defined sodium-chloride-based salt formulation instead of seawater into the production medium. Plackett-Burman design experiment was applied, and three media constituents, starch, KBr, and CaCO3, were recognised to have significant effect on the antibiotic production ofStreptomycesJAJ06 at their individual levels. Subsequently, Response surface methodology with Box-Behnken design was employed to optimize these influencing medium constituents for the improved antibiotic production ofStreptomycessp. JAJ06. A total of 17 experiments were conducted towards the construction of a quadratic model and a second-order polynomial equation. Optimum levels of medium constituents were obtained by analysis of the model and numerical optimization method. When the strain JAJ06 was cultivated in the optimized medium, the antibiotic activity was increased to 173.3 U/mL, 26.8% increase as compared to the original (136.7 U/mL). This study found a useful way to cultivateStreptomycessp. JAJ06 for enhanced production of antibiotic compound.

Angkak (red mold rice, red yeast rice, Chinese red rice), a traditional Chinese functional food is produced by solid-state fermentation of cooked non-glutinous rice with <i>Monascus</i> species. The secondary metabolite of <i>Monascus</i> species, monacolin K (lovastatin), has been proved to lower blood lipid levels. In this study, the best <i>Monascus purpureus</i> strain was selected from MTCC 369, 410, 1090 based on lovastatin concentration. Four medium parameters (NH<sub>4</sub>Cl, MgSO<sub>4</sub>, NaCl, CaCl<sub>2</sub>) screened by Plackett-Burman design from total nine medium variables were optimised by Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology. Maximum lovastatin production of 3.420 mg/g was predicted in the solid medium containing 20 g rice and 40 ml liquid nutrient (NH<sub>4</sub>Cl 14.32 g/l, MgSO<sub>4</sub> 0.76 g/l, NaCl 14.65 g/l, and CaCl<sub>2</sub> 0.54 g/l) by the point prediction tool of Design Expert Ver. 7.1 software at 14<sup>th</sup> day of fermentation.

The selection and optimization of nutritional constituents as well as their levels for the improved production of antibiotic byNonomuraeasp. JAJ18 were carried out using combination of both nonstatistical one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method and statistical response surface methodology (RSM). Using OFAT method, starch and (NH4)2SO4were identified as suitable carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Subsequently, starch, NaCl, and MgSO4·7H2O were recognized as the most significant media components with confidence level of above 95% using the Plackett-Burman design. The levels of the three media components were further optimized using RSM employed with Box-Behnken design. Accordingly, a second-order polynomial regression model was fitted into the experimental data. By analyzing the response surface plots as well as using numerical optimization method, the optimal levels for starch, NaCl, and MgSO4·7H2O were determined as 15.6 g/L, 0.8 g/L, and 1.98 g/L, respectively. With the optimized medium, 15.5% increase was observed in antibiotic activity of JAJ18. Results further support the use of RSM for media optimization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of statistical media optimization for antibiotic production in rare actinomyceteNonomuraeaspecies, which will be useful for the development ofNonomuraeacultivation process for efficient antibiotic production on a large scale.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for statistical optimization of fermentation medium that influenced the yield of endo-polysaccharide from cultivated mycelia of Cordyceps militaris. First, the Plackett-Burman design was used to evaluate the effects of ten variables including glucose, maltose, peptone, yeast extract, KH2PO4, MgSO4, CaCl2, VB1, inoculum density and medium capacity. Among these variables, glucose, peptone and yeast extract were identified to have the significant effects. Subsequently, response surface methodology based on a five-level three-factor central composite design was employed to determine the maximum dry weight (DW) of mycelial biomass at optimum concentration of glucose, peptone and yeast extract. The mycelia growth was found to correlate to the three parameters that could be represented by second-order polynomial models. The optimal values of the three parameters were determined as 4.62% glucose, 3.36% peptone and 0.43% yeast extract. The prediction DW was 23.727g/L. The actual experimental results were in agreement with the prediction.

Chondroitinases are useful in treating cancer and spinal cord injuries. The work reported so far does not focus on production of fungal chondroitinase. The present study focuses on the optimization of cultural conditions using design of experiments for production of chondroitinase by a fungal isolate CHCS-2, obtained from humus containing poultry waste. The cultural conditions were optimized systematically using a one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) approach, factorial design, Plackett-Burman design (PBD) and Box- Behnken design to identify the composition of the production medium and the level of the variables. The level of significance of the medium components selected by OFAT study viz., yeast extract, chondroitin, and phosphate, was analyzed by factorial studies. The effect of eleven minerals on the enzyme yield was studied by PBD. The interaction among the medium components selected using factorial and PBD viz., yeast extract, cobalt and aluminum was investigated using the Box-Behnken design (BBD). Under the optimized conditions, maximum chondroitinase yield was 22.5 U/mL.

Sublancin 168, as a distinct S-linked antimicrobial glycopeptide produced byBacillus subtilis168, is effective in killing specific microorganisms. However, the reported yield of sublancin 168 is at a low level of no more than 60 mg from 1 L fermentation culture ofB. subtilis168 by using the method in the literature. Thus optimization of fermentation condition for efficiently producing sublancin 168 is required. Here, Box-Behnken design was used to determine the optimal combination of three fermentation parameters, namely, corn powder, soybean meal, and temperature that were identified previously by Plackett-Burman design and the steepest ascent experiment. Subsequently, based on the response surface methodology, the quadratic regression model for optimally producing sublancin 168 was developed, and the optimal combination of culture parameters for maximum sublancin 168 production of 129.72 mg/L was determined as corn powder 28.49 g/L, soybean meal 22.99 g/L, and incubation temperature 30.8°C. The results showed that sublancin 168 production obtained experimentally was coincident with predicted value of 125.88 mg/L, and the developed model was proved to be adequate, and the aim of efficiently producing sublancin 168 was achieved.

In this study, the Box–Behnken design matrix and response surface methodology (RSM) have been applied in the experiments to evaluate the interactive effects of four most important operating variables: pH (2.0–4.0), temperature (30–40°C ),iron/carbon ratio(1/2–3/2)and iron carbon amounts (2-4) on the removal of Pb (II), Cu(II),Zn (II) and Cd (II) ions in acid mine drainage with micro-electrolysis (ME) . The total 29 experiments were conducted in the present study for the construction of a quadratic model. The independent variables have significant value 0.0001, which indicates the importance of these variables in the ME process. The values of “Prob > F” less than 0.0500 indicate that model terms are significant for the removal of Cr (VI), Ni (II) and Zn (II) ions. The regression equation coefficients were calculated and the data fitted to a second-order polynomial equation for removal of Pb (II), Cu(II),Zn (II) and Cd (II) ions with ME.

To optimize the production conditions for exopolysaccharides with higher antioxidant activities fromXerocomus badiuscultured in shrimp byproduct medium, Plackett-Burman design, path of steepest ascent, and response surface methodology were explored. Based on the results of Plackett-Burman design and path of steepest ascent, a Box-Behnken design was applied to optimization and the regression models. The optimal cultural condition for high yield and antioxidant activity of the exopolysaccharides was determined to be 10.347% of solid-to-liquid ratio, a 4.322% content of bran powder, and a 1.217% concentration of glacial acetic acid. Culturing with the optimal cultural conditions resulted in an exopolysaccharides yield of4.588±0.346 g/L and a total antioxidant activity of2.956±0.105 U/mg. These values are consistent with the values predicted by the corresponding regression models (RSD < 5%).

The objective of the study was to optimize the conditions in a culture medium for the selenium yeild enriched by Saccharomyces sp. III using Plackett-Burman design and Box-Behnken design. The Plackett-Burman multifactorial design was first employed to screen the significant factors in the fermentation for the selenium yeild, and subsequent use of the response surface methodology was further optimized for the selenium yeild by Box-Behnken design. The important factors in the culture medium, identified by the initial screening method of Placket-Burman, were sodium selenite, glucose and the liquid volume. The optimal amounts for maximum selenium yeild were: sodium selenite 15.8 mg/L; glucose 40.2 g/L; the liquid volume 120 mL in 250 mL flask. Using this statistical experimental design, the selenium yeild under optimal condition reached about 1679.32 μg selenium /g dry cell.
