Response surface methodology-based optimization of production media and purification of α-galactosidase in solid-state fermentation by Fusarium moniliforme NCIM 1099

Abstract

Response surface methodology was used to enhance the production of α-galactosidase from Fusarium moniliforme NCIM 1099 in solid-state fermentation. Plackett–Burman design was employed for selection of critical media constituents which were optimized by central composite rotatable design. Wheat bran, peptone and FeSO4·7H2O were identified as significant medium components using PB design. Further CCRD optimized medium components as wheat bran; 4.62 μg, peptone; 315.42 μg, FeSO4·7H2O; 9.04 μg. RSM methodological optimization increased the enzyme production from 13.17 to 207.33 U/g showing 15.74-fold enhancement. The α-galactosidase was purified by 70% fractionation followed by DEAE anion exchange column chromatography which yields 23.33% with 28.68-fold purification. The molecular weight of α-galactosidase was 57 kDa which was determined by SDS-PAGE analysis. Purified enzyme has optimum pH of 4.0 and was found to be stable in wide pH range of 3.0–9.0. Its optimum temperature was 50 °C, whereas its activity remains above 50% up to 2 h at 75 °C. Hg2+ was found to be a potent inhibitor and Mg2+ acted as an activator of enzyme. No significant change was observed in enzyme activity for galactose concentration, ranging from 1 to 100 mM. The K m values of enzyme for substrates p-nitrophenyl-α-d-galactopyranoside, melibiose and raffinose were 0.20, 1.36, and 3.66 mM, respectively. Low K m and stability to various physiological conditions of enzyme represents its potential which can be exploited in various industrial applications.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s13205-016-0575-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Statistical media optimization for the production of clinical uricase from Bacillus subtilis strain SP6

“…Interactions between the significant variables for uricase enzyme production graphically studied by three dimensional (3D) plots and two-dimensional (2D) contour plots [26]. Out of 4variables, 2 kept at optimum level while two kept at zero level, to evaluate the yield of uricase enzyme.…”

Optimization of deacidification for concentrated grape juice

“…In the second phase, according to the first phase results, variables with the most significant effect on the removal rate of tartaric acid were selected using Box–Behnken design and response surface methodology (RSM) to investigate their interaction effects. The Box–Behnken design determined the optimization levels through three major aspects, that is, by performing statistically designed experiments, by estimating coefficients in a mathematical model, and by predicting responses (Gajdhane, Bhagwat, & Dandge, ; Ghorbannezhad, Bay, Yolmeh, Yadollahi, & Moghadam, ; Zong et al, ).…”

Enhancement of α-galactosidase production using novel Actinoplanes utahensis B1 strain: sequential optimization and purification of enzyme

“…The Plackett-Burman design (PBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) are two commonly employed statistical techniques for optimizing biological processes. Initially PBD is used for screening purpose, after nding the signi cant variables in this initial screening they can be further improved using central composite design (CCD) in RSM (Gajdhane et al 2016;Sathish et al 2018).…”
