Abstract Background: Xenocoumacin 1 (Xcn 1), a kind of water-soluble antibiotic discovered from the cell-free broth of Xenorhabdus nematophila YL001, has exhibited excellent activity against bacteria, oomycetes and fungi. However, the low yield limits the development and utilization of Xcn1. In order to increase the yield of Xcn1, the fermentation process was optimized in this study. Results: Maltose and proteose peptone were identified as the best carbon and nitrogen sources that significantly affected Xcn1 production using a-factor-at-a-time approach. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the medium constituents for Xcn1 production by X. nematophila YL001. Higher Xcn1-content (113.65 μg/mL) was obtained after optimizing medium components. The optimal levels of medium components were (g/L): proteose peptone 20.83, maltose 12.74, K2HPO4 3.77. Fermentation conditions, such as initial pH, inoculum size, temperature, rotation speed, liquid volume and the length of fermentation, were also investigated by using a-factor-at-a-time method to get a higher production of Xcn1. X. nematophila YL001 was able to produce higher Xcn1 (153.56 μg/mL) at 25°C, initial pH 7.0, inoculum size 10%, culture medium 75 mL in a 250 mL shake flash with an agitation rate of 150 rpm for 48h. Additionally, kinds, concentrations and adding time of the precursor were also investigated. X. nematophila YL001 was able to produce the highest Xcn1 (173.99 μg/mL) when the arginine was added to the broth with 3 mmol/L at the 12th hour. An overall 243.38% increase in Xcn1 content was obtained as compared with mean observed response at TSB medium.Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on optimization of fermentation process for Xcn1 production quantified by HPLC. The results show that nutrition, precursors and fermentation conditions had a highly influence on the production of Xcn1 by X. nematophila YL001. The optimized medium and fermentation conditions resulted in a 243.38% increase in Xcn1 production. This work will be helpful for the development of X. nematophila YL001 cultivation process for efficient Xcn1 production and lay a foundation for its industrial production.

In the present work, the effect of different carbon sources, namely glucose, sucrose, maltose, fructose and lactose, was studied for extracellular L-asparaginase production by Aspergillus terreus MTCC 1782 in submerged fermentation. The best carbon source and operating conditions such as initial pH, inoculum size, temperature and agitation rate were optimized. Glucose was found to be the best carbon source for L-asparaginase production using modified Czapek-Dox media containing L-proline as substrate. Sucrose was found to be the best carbon source for L-asparaginase production using modified Czapek-Dox media containing groundnut oil cake flour as substrate. Glucose was found to be the best carbon source for maximum L-asparaginase production using modified Czapek-Dox media containing soya bean meal flour as substrate. The soya bean meal flour was found to be the best natural substrate for maximum L-asparaginase activity of 35.3 IU/mL using 0.6% glucose as carbon source at the optimal culture conditions of initial pH 6, inoculum size 2%, temperature 35°C and agitation rate 160 rpm.

Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) is a feather palm native to tropical Asia. In Vietnam, it is named Búng Báng or Đoác and grown only on the highlands in the central or northern part of Vietnam. It is utilized for many purposes, especially for Ta Vat wine production - a characteristic and unique product of Co Tu ethnic minority. However, because of the natural fermentation used in the production, the product quality is inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to examine a new procedure of using palm sap for making Ta Vat wine. Some characteristics of the sap, which was collected at Nam Giang district, Quang Nam province are determined, proving the potential of the sap for making wine product. The quality of sap changes quickly at room temperature. At low temperature (4 - 60C), the changes in sap quality are apparently slower. Examining some factors affecting its quality during the wine fermentation process, we determined the best parameters for the fermentation process as follows: inoculum size of 3% with cell density of about 1x108 cells/ml, the addition of the extract from the bark of Ceylon ironwood (Mesua ferrea L.) 4%. Keywords: Arenga pinnata, sap, Ceylon ironwood bark, Mesua ferrea L., wine fermentation.

Thirty-five cultures of Bacillus stearothermophilus hydrolyzed five starches under various cultural conditions. Hydrolysis occurred regardless of the type, brand, or batch of starch; regardless of the initial pH or of the subsequent pH changes of the medium. Starch in broth was better attacked than in agar media. Some cultures hydrolyzed 0.5%, but not 1% starch; others hydrolyzed easily 10% soluble starch. Length of incubation was important. Certain cultures never formed acid or sugar from starch. Dextrinization was a more reliable indication of starch hydrolysis than was the formation of acid or sugar. Soluble starch gave more consistent results in repeated experiments than did nonsoluble starches. The type of protein medium determines strongly the formation of amylase. Trypticase was the best commercial medium, yeast extract came second. The other 10 media yielded fewer amylolytic cultures. Yeast extract added to media enhanced amylase formation, except with trypticase. Tryptose, proteose-peptone, and neopeptone inhibited the growth of most cultures.

Liquid spawn, an important technical support for industrial production of edible fungi, has some advantages, such as fast growth, strong activity, uniform quality and easy inoculation. However,the study of the fermentation parameters of Pleurotus eryngii liquid spawn is less, which cannot effectively guide the production practice. Therefore, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the production of liquid spawn and industrial production of Pleurotus eryngii, response surface analysis was used to optimize the liquid spawn formula and conditions. The best carbon and nitrogen source of liquid medium was glucose and yeast extract, respectively. The optimum formula of medium was obtained by response surface analysis. Combined with the practical operation, the formula was modified to 29.00 g/L glucose, 2.90g/L yeast extract, 0.90g/L KH2PO4 and 1.00g/L MgSO4. The effects of various factors on the dry weight of mycelia were analyzed, the results indicated that the influence follow the sequence: glucose, KH2PO4, yeast extract and MgSO4, among them, the first two factors had significant effect. The interaction between glucose and KH2PO4 had obviously effects on the dry weight of mycelia. The interaction between glucose and yeast extract had a certain effect. The optimum culture conditions of liquid spawn were obtained by response surface analysis. Combined with the actual situation, the conditions were modified to liquid volume 106.00mL/250mL, rotating speed 165.00r/min, temperature 23.60℃, initial pH 6.70.

Abstract Background Halophiles are an excellent source of enzymes that are not only salt stable, but also can withstand and carry out reaction efficiently under extreme conditions. l-glutaminase has attracted much attention with respect to proposed applications in several fields such as pharmaceuticals and food industries. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anticancer activity of l-glutaminase produced by halophilic bacteria. Various halophilic bacterial strains were screened for extracellular l-glutaminase production. An attempt was made to study the optimization, purification, and characterization of l-glutaminase from Bacillus sp. DV2-37. The antitumor activity of the produced enzyme was also investigated. Results The potentiality of 15 halophilic bacterial strains isolated from the marine environment that produced extracellular l-glutaminase was investigated. Bacillus sp. DV2-37 was selected as the most potent strain and optimized for enzyme production. The optimization of fermentation process revealed that the highest enzyme activity (47.12 U/ml) was observed in a medium supplemented with 1% (w/v) glucose as a carbon source, 1% (w/v) peptone as a nitrogen source, 5% (w/v) NaCl, the initial pH was 7.0, at 37 °C, using 20% (v/v) inoculum size after 96 h of incubation. The produced crude enzyme was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and dialysis. Of the various parameters tested, pH 7, 40 °C, and 5% NaCl were found to be the best for l-glutaminase activity. The enzyme also exhibited high salt and temperature stability. The antitumor effect against human breast (MCF-7), hepatocellular (HepG-2), and colon (HCT-116) carcinoma cell lines revealed that l-glutaminase produced by Bacillus sp. DV2-37 showed potent cytotoxic activity of all the tested cell lines in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 3.5, 3.4, and 3.8 µg/ml, respectively. Conclusions The present study proved that l-glutaminase produced by marine bacteria holds proper features and it has a high potential to be useful for many therapeutic applications.
