Screening of Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Fermented Cowpea and Optimization of Biomass Production Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Considering the four characteristics of strains, including acid production, acid tolerance, salt tolerance, and nitrite degradation rate, Pediococcus pentosaceus NCU006063 was selected as the fermentation agent, and the medium composition of Pediococcus pentosaceus NCU006063 was optimized using Plackett-Burman and central composite rotational design. Three of the seven factors studied in the Plackett-Burman design significantly affected the viable counts. A central composite rotational design was used to optimize the significant factors and generate response surface plots. Using these response surface plots and point predictions, the optimal factors were soy peptone (38.75 g/L), FeSO₄ (0.10 g/L), and VB₇ (20 g/L). In addition, the optimized incubation co
