Optimization of iturin A production from Bacillus subtilis ZK-H2 in submerge fermentation by response surface methodology.

ABSTRACT: In this research, single-factor and response surface experiments were conducted in the fed-batch fermentation process to improve the yield of iturin A. The effect of adding various concentrations of precursor amino acids l-asparagine (Asn), l-aspartic acid (Asp), l-glutamic acid (Glu), l-glutamine (Gln), l-Serine (Ser) and l-proline (Pro) at different adding times (3 and 12 h) on iturin A production and cell growth was studied. The respective addition of amino acids (Asp 0.28 g/L; Asn 0.36 g/L; Glu 0.20, 0.28 and 0.360 g/L; Gln 0.20, 0.28 and 0.36 g/L; Pro 0.12, 0.20, 0.28 and 0.36 g/L) at 3 h was shown to improve cell growth but did not affect the yield of iturin A. Meanwhile, the individual addition of the same amino acids at 12 h improved cell growth and increased the yield of iturin A.
