Abstract

The present investigation deals with an in-depth study on optimization of lead removal capacity of lead-resistant bacterium Acinetobacter sp. 158 as a response variable with limiting carbon source, pH, and rotational speed as non-interacting-type independent variables. The statistical optimization technique response surface methodology has been used for this purpose. The optimum parameters of the independent variables have been identified through 3D plots. A set of deterministic model equations have been developed through rigorous modeling and simulation to predict the cell growth dynamics of the lead-resistant bacterium Acinetobacter sp. 158. A set of programmed experiments have been conducted using the optimized value of the independent variables obtained through RSM to validate the proposed model equations.
