  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Several potentially important process variables involved in xylanase production byPenicillium janthinellum in large lab-scale fermentors were efficiently screened by employing a Plackett-Burman statistical design. Results illustrate the design's general applicability to experimentation with fermentation processes.
