Abstract: In order to improve expolysaccharide (EPS) production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LPL061, the medium and fermentation conditions were optimized by one-factor-at-a-time design and response surface analysis. The optimal culture medium consisted of 22 g/L sucrose and 18.4 g/L yeast extract at pH 7.0. The optimal fermentation conditions were 28 ℃, 220 r/min shaking speed, 3% inoculum size and 24 h. Under these conditions, the EPS yield was 4.46 g/L, 1.51-fold higher than before the optimization.

Key words: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, exopolysaccharide, fermentation condition optimization, response surface analysis
