Application of factorial designs for optimization of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase production from Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumoniae AS-22.
Production of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumoniae AS-22 was optimized in shake flasks using a statistical experimental design approach. Effect of various components in the basal medium, like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and mineral sources as well as initial pH and temperature, were tested on enzyme production. The optimum concentrations of the selected media components were determined using statistical experimental designs. Two level fractional factorial designs in five variables, namely, dextrin, peptone, yeast extract, ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate, and magnesium sulphate concentrations were constructed. The optimum medium composition thus found consisted of 49.3 g/L dextrin, 20.6 g/L peptone, 18.3 g/L yeast extract, 6.7 g/L ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate, and 0.5 g/L magnesium sulphate. The maximum CGTase activity obtained was 21.4 U/mL in 28 h of incubation. The cell growth and CGTase production profiles were studied with the optimized medium in shake flasks and in 1-L fermenters. It was observed that the enzyme production was growth associated both in shake flask and in fermenter, although it was slower in shake flask. The maximum CGTase activity obtained in the fermenter was 32.5 U/mL in 16 h. The optimized medium resulted in about 9-fold increase in the enzyme activity as compared to that obtained in the basal medium in shake flask as well as in fermenter.
