Abstract
Soy whey based growth medium for yeast enabled the native isolate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTCC 5421 to produce 198 U/ml of phytase activity against that of 135 U/ml in potato dextrose broth. In the same medium for lactic acid bacteria, the isolate of Lactobacillus plantarum MTCC 5422 was able to elaborate α-D-galactosidase activity of 10.6 U/ml in comparison to 6 U/ml in Lactobacillus MRS broth. Using this formulated medium, a central composite experimental design based on 5 variables of 3 factors namely incubation temperature, pH level and incubation period showed that S. cerevisiae could produce 200 U/ml of phytase in 36 h at 30 °C and pH 3.5. Similarly, L. plantarum in 33 h at 37 °C and pH 6.6 exhibited 14.2 U/ml of α-D-galactosidase activity, whereas the antibacterial activity of 14.4 AU/ml against Bacillus cereus was evident in 42 h at 42 °C and pH 6.0. The phytase and antibacterial activity units visualized in response surface plots were more or less close to those obtained with the experimental design treatments.
