Optimization of media components for enhanced production of streptococcus phocae pi80 and its bacteriocin using response surface methodology

The standard MRS components were optimized using response surface methodology for increasing yield of Streptococcus phocae PI80 viable cells and its bacteriocin. The highest amounts of bacteriocin activity and viable cells were recorded from prediction point of optimized MRS medium and achieved two fold higher (33049.8 AU.mL(-1) and 14.05 LogCFU.mL(-1)) than un-optimized counterpart.
