The enormous increase in world population has resulted in generation of million tons of agricultural wastes. Biotechnological process for production of green chemicals, namely, enzymes, provides the best utilization of these otherwise unutilized wastes. The present study elaborates concomitant production of protease and amylase in solid state fermentation (SSF) by a newly isolated Bacillus megaterium B69, using agroindustrial wastes. Two-level statistical model employing Plackett-Burman and response surface methodology was designed for optimization of various physicochemical conditions affecting the production of two enzymes concomitantly. The studies revealed that the new strain concomitantly produced 1242 U/g of protease and 1666.6 U/g of amylase by best utilizing mustard oilseed cake as the substrate at 20% substrate concentration and 45% moisture content after 84 h of incubation. An increase of 2.95- and 2.04-fold from basal media was observed in protease and amylase production, respectively. ANOVA of both the design models showed high accuracy of the polynomial model with significant similarities between the predicted and the observed results. The model stood accurate at the bench level validation, suggesting that the design model could be used for multienzyme production at mass scale.

AbstractThe kinetic of catalytic upgrading of anisole as a lignin−derived bio−oil component is investigated experimentally overPt/γAl2O3at 573−673 K and 14 bar. According to experimental results, benzene, phenol, 2−methylphenol, 2,6−dimethylphenol, 2,4,6−trimethylphenol, and hexamethylbenzene are identified as the main products. The results indicated that the kinetically significant reaction classes are hydrogenolysis, hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), alkylation, and hydrogenation. The response surface methodology (RSM) is applied to optimize the experimental data which obtained at suggested conditions by design of experiment (DOE). Due to the complex nature of the system, artificial neural networks (ANNs) were employed as an efficient tool to model the behavior of the system.RSMandANNmethods were constructed based upon theDOE’s points and then utilized for generating extra−simulated data. Data simulated by theRSM/ANNmethod were used to fit power law kinetic rate expressions for the reactions. The coefficient of determination (R2) was obtained 0.998 and 0.973 for anisole conversion model and benzene selectivity model which represented the high accuracy of model predictions. The correlation coefficient (R) and mean square error (MSE) ofANNmodel equaled to 0.97 and 8.3 × 10−12respectively means high accuracy of the developed model. The results of kinetic modeling with simulated data from theANNandRSMmodels revealed that the highest reaction order during the upgrading process of anisole belongs to hydrogenolysis of anisole to phenol. Also the activation energy of hydrogenolysis reaction was lower thanHDO.

Glucose isomerase is an enzyme widely used in food industry for producing high-fructose corn syrup. Many microbes, includingBacillus megaterium, have been found to be able to produce glucose isomerase. However, the number of studies of glucose isomerase production fromBacillus megateriumis limited. In this study, we establish the optimal medium components and culture conditions forBacillus megateriumglucose isomerase production by evaluating the combined influence of multiple factors and different parameters via Plackett–Burman design and response surface methodology in Modde 5.0 software. The optimized conditions, which were experimentally confirmed as follows: D-xylose (1.116%), K2HPO4(0.2%), MgSO4·7H2O (0.1%), yeast extract (1.161%), peptone (1%), pH 7.0, inoculum size 20% (w/v), shaking 120 rpm at 36.528°C for 48 hours, give rise to production of highest activity of glucose isomerase (0.274 ± 0.003 U/mg biomass). These results provide additional important information for future development of large-scale glucose isomerase production byBacillus megaterium.
