Abstract
Statistically-based experimental designs were used to optimize the production of cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase (CGTase) from a local isolate of Bacillus megaterium using shack culture fermentation. Seven cultural conditions were examined for enzyme production and specific activity using Plackett-Burman factorial design. Fermentation time and K2HPO4 level were the crucial for factors improving enzyme production process. The steepest ascent design was adopted-based on the results recorded with Plackett-Burman design. Maximal enzyme estimates (activity 56.1 U/ml, and specific activity 62.7 U/mg protein) were achieved. A verification experiment was carried out to examine model validation of this optimization.
