Abstract:

As an important biocontrol bacterium, Bacillus cereus MA23 exhibits good antagonistic effect on the pathogen of kiwifruit canker, Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae. To promote its application in the control of the diseases, it is necessary to improve the biomass and antimicrobial activity of strain MA23. Thus, orthogonal test and single factor experiment were selected for the optimization of culture medium and fermentation parameters. Through variance analysis of orthogonal experiment results, it was demonstrated that peptone, soluble starch, K2HPO4 and MgSO4 were highly significant factors, and NaNO3 was a significant factor while glucose was not a significant factor. These factors affected the test result in an order of soluble starch> K2HPO4> peptone> MgSO4> NaNO3> glucose, and A1B4C4D1E2F2 was determined as the optimal combination. So the optimal culture medium for MA23 was 0.8% glucose, 0.2% peptone, 3.5% soluble starch, 0.05% NaNO3, 0.2% K2HPO4, 0.2% MgSO4, 0.12% CaCO3, 0.035% MnSO4. After optimization of the medium, the biomass and antimicrobial activity of strain MA23 fermentation broth increased by 41% and 37.2%, respectively. After the single factor experiments, the optimal fermentation condition was determined as fellows: the initial pH of the medium was 6.5, the fermentation temperature was 30℃, the inoculation size was 8%, the liquid medium volume was 70 mL, and the rotation speed was 180 r/min. After optimization of fermentation conditions, the biomass and antimicrobial activity of strain MA23 fermentation broth increased by 28.2% and 25.6%, respectively. In conclusion, the biomass and antimicrobial activity of Bacillus cereus MA23 are improved significantly through optimization of culture medium and fermentation parameters, and this will lay the foundation for the further application of strain MA23.
