Abstract The enzyme urate oxidase (UOX) is used as a drug for preventing and treatment of chemotherapy-induced hyperuricemia. This study deals with the statistical optimization of lactose inducible fermentation for production of soluble recombinant Aspergillus flavus UOX. 10 variables were investigated by Plackett–Burman design (PBD), and the most significant factors were further optimized by central composite design (CCD). PBD results indicated that glycerol, yeast extract, tryptone, and lactose affected UOX activity significantly. The CCD results showed that the maximum enzyme activity (19.34 U/ml) could be achieved under the optimum conditions of glycerol 0.87 g/L, yeast extract 9.11 g/L, tryptone 10.29 g/L, K2HPO4 1.81 g/L, and lactose 12.79 g/L. When the same induction strategy was tested at shake flask, 19.34 U/mL of UOX activity was obtained, which was 12.5 folds higher than IPTG induction protocol. Furthermore, the lower total cost (0.7 vs. 13.5 €) was additionally feature that confirmed the suitability of the lactose induction method. Collectively, our results showed that design of experiment methodology can be applied as a suitable tool for improved production of UOX using lactose as the inducer.

Dextranase catalyzes the degradation of the substrate dextran, which is a component of plaque biofilm. This enzyme is involved in antiplaque accumulation, which can prevent dental caries. The activity of crude dextranase from Penicillium roquefortii TISTR 3511 was assessed, and the maximum value (7.61 unit/g) was obtained at 37 °C and pH 6. The Plackett–Burman design was used to obtain significant factors for enhancing fungal dextranase production, and three influencing factors were found: Dextran, yeast extract concentration and inoculum age. Subsequently, the significant factors were optimized with the Box–Behnken design, and the most suitable condition for dextranase activity at 30.24 unit/g was achieved with 80 g/L dextran, 30 g/L yeast extract and five day- old inoculum. The use of 0.85% alginate beads for encapsulation exhibited maximum dextranase activity at 25.18 unit/g beads, and this activity was stable in toothpaste for three months of testing. This study explored the potential production of fungal dextranase under optimal conditions and its encapsulation using alginate for the possibility of applying encapsulated dextranase as an additive in toothpaste products for preventing dental caries.

In this paper, the optimization of the extraction/purification process of multiple components was performed by the entropy weight method (EWM) combined with Plackett–Burman design (PBD) and central composite design (CCD). We took the macroporous resin purification of Astragalus saponins as an example to discuss the practicability of this method. Firstly, the weight of each component was given by EWM and the sum of the product between the componential content and its weight was defined as the comprehensive score, which was taken as the evaluation index. Then, the single factor method was adopted for determining the value range of each factor. PBD was applied for screening the significant factors. Important variables were further optimized by CCD to determine the optimal process parameters. After the combination of EWM, PBD and CCD, the resulting optimal purification conditions were as follows: pH value of 6.0, the extraction solvent concentration of 0.15 g/mL, and the ethanol volume fraction of 75%. Under the optimal conditions, the practical comprehensive score of recoveries of saponins was close to the predicted value (n = 3). Therefore, the present study provided a convenient and efficient method for extraction and purification optimization technology of multiple components from natural products.

Aflatoxins (AFs) are a series of highly toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites. In order to eliminate AFs contamination, biological control is one of the more promising techniques. In this study, we describe the optimization of media nutrients for the selected biocontrol bacterium, Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus strain BPM1. The strain was isolated from the peanut hulls in Shandong Province, China and exhibited antagonistic activity against aflatoxins. Maltose and sucrose were identified as best carbon source, while soya peptone and yeast extract as nitrogen source led to the highest OD600 observations. Medium composition was optimized using Plackett-Burman design, which was applied to find the key ingredients. The results revealed that the most significant two factors which were more effective in the fermentation of L. xylanilyticus BPM1 were soya peptone and yeast extract.

The strains capable of degrading cellulose have attracted much interest because of their applications in straw resource utilization in solid-state fermentation (SSF). However, achieving high spore production in SSF is rarely reported. The production of spores from Streptomyces griseorubens JSD-1 was investigated in shaker-flask cultivation in this study. The optimal carbon, organic nitrogen and inorganic nitrogen sources were sucrose, yeast extract and urea, respectively. Plackett–Burman design (PBD) was adopted to determine the key medium components, and the concentration levels of three components (urea, NaCl, MgSO4·7H2O) were optimized with the steepest ascent path and central composite design (CCD), achieving 1.72 × 109 CFU/g of spore production. Under the optimal conditions (urea 2.718% w/v, NaCl 0.0697% w/v, MgSO4·7H2O 0.06956% w/v), the practical value of spore production was 1.69 × 109 CFU/g. The determination coefficient (R2) was 0.9498, which ensures an adequate credibility of the model.

Based on statistical designs, minimal salts medium, commonly used for yeast cultivation, was optimized to maximize GAP promoter-mediated phytase production by recombinant Pichia pastoris grown on glycerol. A Plackett-Burman design was followed to screen medium components to determine those that significantly affected phytase production. Of the 8 components studied, the concentrations of K2SO4, CaSO4•2H2O and MgSO4•7H2O were identified as having a significant effect. These three components were subsequently optimized by response surface methodology using a central composite design. The optimal concentrations of the three components, leading to a maximal extracellular phytase activity of 161.64 U/ml, were K2SO4 13.25g/l, CaSO4•2H2O 1.03g/l and MgSO4•7H2O 17.94g/l. The activity measured in cultures using optimized growth medium is significantly higher than the 73.31 U/ml measured in cultures using standard minimal salts media. The theoretical phytase yields predicted by the developed model were very close to experimentally obtained values.

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.

Objective: To enhance the antioxidant potential of Xylaria feejeensis by statistical optimization. The components of potato dextrose yeast extract (PDYEB) medium: potato infusion, dextrose and yeast extract were investigated to optimize antioxidant activity by Plackett-Burman design (P-B design). The interaction between the critical components of the medium and incubation time was further investigated by Response Surface Method (RSM) and the culture conditions were optimized for enhancing antioxidant activity. Central composite design (CCD) was employed and quadratic response surface model was used to analyze the data using analysis of variance (ANOVA).Methods: The antioxidant potential was measured by 1-1diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, nitric oxide (NO) scavenging assay. The antioxidant activity was compared with total phenolic content measured by Folin-Ciocalteau (FC) reagent based assay.Results: Plackett-Burman design revealed dextrose and yeast extract to be the most significant components of PDYEB medium (p<.0001). ANOVA analysis showed that the model was highly significant (p<0.0001) for antioxidant activity measured by DPPH, NO scavenging and TPC (total phenolic content). The model was justified by applying the optimized conditions and values of 87.38%, 56.43%, 27.28 mg/g for DPPH, NO scavenging and TPC respectively were obtained. The estimated optimum conditions of the variables for the antioxidant activity and phenolic content are 12.72g of dextrose, 1.67g yeast extract, and incubation period of 23.43 d.Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of various components of the medium and the physiochemical limitations in antioxidant potential and phenol production of the fungal strain.
