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.

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.

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.

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.

In this study, we used plackett-burman design (PBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) methods to optimize media and culture conditions for expression of recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF) in Pichia pastoris in order to effectively enhance the production of rhbFGF. PBD was used to screen the most significant factors from nine important factors, which were fermentation time, methanol, temperature, initial pH, OD600 for inducement, concentrated volume, YNB peptone, and casein. Then RSM was further used to optimize the significant parameters. Our results had shown that three significant factors selected by PBD were temperature, fermentation time, and methanol. Base on the 3-factor-3-level central composite design (CCD) of RSM, the final optimized conditions were fermentation time 126.7h, methanol 1.3%, temperature 21.3°C, initial pH 6.0±0.1, OD600 for inducement 26, concentrated volume 100 ml, YNB 13.4%, peptone 4%, and casein 0.1%. The maximum production of rhbFGF was 302.4mg/L, which was 2 times higher than the production of rhbFGF reported in the previous studies. Those results provided the foundation for further researches on higher density cultivation condition of rhbFGF explored in the fermenter and accelerate the industrialization development of rhbFGF.
