Abstract
Statistically-based experimental designs were applied to optimize the fermentation for the production of glucosyltransferase by Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146. Eleven medium components were examined for their significance on enzyme production using Plackett–Burman factorial design. Tween 80, sucrose and K 2HPO 4 significantly improved the enzyme production process. The combined effect of these nutrients on glucansucrase production were studied using a 2 2 full-factorial central composite design, a second-order polynomial was established to identify the relationship between the enzyme output and the three medium components. The optimal concentration of variables for maximum glucansucrase production were Tween 80 (0.55%, v/v); sucrose (5.6%, w/v) and K 2HPO 4 (1%, w/v). The maximum enzyme activity by predicted model was 6.53 U/ml that was in perfect agreement with the actual experimental value (6.40 U/ml).
