Abstract:The fermentation media and culture conditions of Bacillus subtilis B-115 were optimized for producing poly γ-glutamic acid. The optimal fermentation conditions for poly γ-glutamic acid production were as follows: corn saccharification liquid 6.5%, peptone 0.4%, L-glutamate 4%, MgSO4 0.15%, MnSO4 0.006%, KH2PO4 0.8%, CaCl2 0.003%, NaCl 1%, inoculums level 2%, flask content 50mL/250mL, pH 6.5, temperatuer 37℃, rotation speed 150r?min-1, and fermentation time 84h. Under the optimal conditions, the yield of γ-PGA was increased from 57.85g/L to 68.3g/L.
