    EXPLORING THE OPTIMUM CONDITIONS FOR MAXIMIZING THE MICROBIAL GROWTH OF Candida intermedia BY RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY

    Yönten, Vahap; Aktas, Nahit

    Exploring optimum and cost-efficient medium composition for microbial growth of Candida intermedia Y-1981 yeast culture growing on whey was studied by applying a multistep response surface methodology. In the first step, Plackett-Burman (PB) design was utilized to determine the most significant fermentation medium factors on microbial growth. The medium temperature, sodium chloride and lactose concentrations were determined as the most important factors. Subsequently, the optimum combinations of the selected factors were explored by steepest ascent (SA) and central composite design (CCD). The optimum values for lactose and sodium chloride concentrations and medium temperature were found to be 18.4g/L, 0.161g/L, and 32.4 degrees C, respectively. Experiments carried out at the optimum conditions revealed a maximum specific growth rate of 0.090 1/hr; 42% of total lactose removal was achieved in 24h of fermentation time. The obtained results were finally verified with batch reactor experiments carried out under the optimum conditions evaluated.

    DETECTING OPTIMUM AND COST-EFFICIENT OF MICROBIAL GROWTH RATE AND LACTOSE CONSUMPTION OF KLUYVEROMYCES LACTIS Y-8279 USING RSM

    Yönten, Vahap

    Exploring optimum and cost-efficient medium composition for microbial growth rate and lactose consumption of Kluyveromyces Lactis Y-8279 yeast culture growing on whey was studied by applying a multi-step response surface methodology (RSM). RSM is a combination of Plackett Burman (PB), Steepest-Ascent (SA) and Central Composite Design (CCD) Medium temperature, pH, yeast extract and lactose concentrations were evaluated the most effective operational factors through seven factors by applying PBD. These four factors were selected for SA program and SA experiments were carried out to find approximately maximum microbial concentration with lactose, pH, yeast extract and medium temperature. Then CCD was carried out with these factors (lactose, medium temperature, pH and yeast extract). Based on ANOVA test the optimum operational conditions of maximum growth rate were obtained as 18.8 g/L, 0.94 g/L, 5.2 and 27 degrees C, lactose concentration, yeast extract concentration, pH, and medium temperature, respectively. And then optimum operational conditions of lactose consumption were obtained as 13 g/L, 0.91 g/L, 8 and 27.5 degrees C, lactose concentration, yeast extract concentration, pH, and medium temperature, respectively too.
