Abstract:

The optimal medium for phenyllactic acid (PLA) production by Lactobacillus paracasei W2 was investigated in order to improve PLA yield. Three most significant components affecting PLA production were selected out of seven components using Plackett-Burman design, namely glucose, Tween-80 and phenylpyruvic acid. Their optimal concentrations were determined by steepest ascent method and response surface methodology (RSM) to be 19.5 g/L, 4 mL/L and 3 g/L, respectively. PLA production reached 801 mg/L under these conditions, 1.4-fold higher than before optimization.

Key words: Lactobacillus paracasei W2, PLA, steepest ascent method, Plackett-Burman design, response surface methodology
