In order to improve the production process of corn starch and accelerate the separation of corn starch, flocculating activity of lactobacillus paracasei subsp.paracasei L1 isolated from natural fermentation of sweet potato acid liquor in corn liquid was optimized. The main influencing factors were determined by Plackett-Burman experimental design and the flocculating activity was optimized by response surface analysis method. The optimum culture conditions was: inoculum concentration 18%, lactose addition 0.2%, corn steeping time 0h, culture temperature 30°C, initial pH of the culture medium pH 6.5, culture time 36h, yeast extract addition 1%,concentration of corn thick liquid 1:3(w/v).The theoretical value of the flocculating activity was 0.1906 mg/ml and the verified value was 0.1854 mg/ml.

A bioflocculant-producing strain M-3 with high flocculating activity was isolated from soil by conventional panel lineation and dilution-plate methods. It was preliminarily identified as Aspergillus based on its morphological and physiological characteristics of colony. The single factor experiments were conducted to optimize cultivating factors affecting flocculating activity, the optimal culture conditions were found to be as follows: glucose 10 g/L, glutamate 2 g/L, cultivating time 36 h, cultivating temperature 37 oC, shaking speed 120 r/min, initial pH 10. The strain could produce high effective flocculants with flocculating activity of 98.3% for kaolin clay suspension, which afforded high possibility of its practical use.

Bioflocculant MBF7 was produced by a novel bioflocculant-producing microorganism HHE-P7. In order to reduce the bioflocculant producing cost, culture experiments were conducted. The effects of medium components including carbon and nitrogen sources as well as culture conditions such as pH of molasses diluents, cultivating temperature, inoculum size were investigated. The results showed when the molasses waste was diluted at COD concentration of 2000 mg/L, the optimal culture conditions for MBF7 production by HHE-P7 were inoculum size 1% (v/v), initial pH 5, cultivating temperature 25°C at the rotation speed 150 r/min. Under such conditions, MBF7 had a flocculating activity of 83% for 5 g/L kaolin clay suspension. About 3.19 g crude bioflocculant could be recovered from 1.0 L of molasses fermentation broth.

The paper concentrated on the optimization of the recombinant strain BL21 (DE3)-PE7-Nit. The component of culture medium and the culture conditions were optimized. The optimized medium was: yeast extract 10 g/l, L-glutamate sodium 8 g/l, MgSO4.7H2O 0.7 g/l, Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside 0.3 mmol/L, potassium hydrogen phosphate 0.5 g / L, phosphate Potassium 0.5 g / L and the culture condition was: initial pH 7.0, inoculum 2%. The result showed that the activity of nitrilase prepared with these conditions increased by 130.37 % through optimization.

Dioscorea alata (purple yam) is a tuber crop that contains plenty of nutrients. It is widely cultivated in Thailand, but it is underutilized. In this study, the suitability of purple yam to replace potato dextrose media for fungal growth was investigated. Mushrooms and molds were grown on purple yam dextrose agar (PYDA), whereas yeasts were cultured in purple yam dextrose broth (PYDB). Response surface methodology (RSM) with Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the culture conditions for Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass production. The growth profile of S. cerevisiae in PYDB under optimized culture conditions was also studied. All test mushrooms and molds recorded the highest colony diameter and mycelial dry weight on PYDA containing 40% purple yam. Similar to mushrooms and molds, yeasts in PYDB with 40% purple yam showed the highest number of cells. The growth of fungi on purple yam dextrose media was significantly higher than those on potato dextrose media under standard conditions. The optimal conditions from the RSM results for the biomass production of S. cerevisiae in PYDB were purple yam concentration of 49.61%, dextrose concentration of 4.87%, pH value of 5.74, and inoculum size of 7.00%. The biomass of S. cerevisiae in PYDB under the optimal conditions obtained from the results of the optimization by RSM was thirty times higher than S. cerevisiae biomass in potato dextrose broth under standard conditions. Our results suggest that purple yam could be an alternative to potato dextrose media for fungal cultivation.
