Abstract:

The single-factor method combined with a quadric regression orthogonal rotation design involving 32 experiments of five variables at five levels were applied to optimize medium compositions (i.e., carbon source, nitrogen source, inorganic salt, and surface-acting agent) of Bacillus subtilis k-1 for maximizing the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of corn gluten meal. The optimum medium compositions were determined as follows: glucose 1.9%, peptone 1.9%, sodium dodecyl sulfonate 0.12%, MgSO4 0.18% and MnSO4 0.32%. The optimized medium led to 11.84% DH, higher than 9.64% before optimization by 23%.

Key words: Bacillus subtilis, medium, hydrolysis, corn gluten meal
