Abstract
Statistical experimental designs were used to optimize conditions for recombinant Burkholderia pyrrocinia feruloyl esterase (BpFae) production in bacteria under lactose induction. After optimization by single factor design, Plackett–Burman design, steepest ascent design and the response surface method, the optimal conditions for BpFae production were: 6 g/L lactose, pH 5.5, pre-induced period 5 h, 23 °C, shaker rotational speed of 240 rpm, medium volume of 50 mL/250 mL, inoculum size 0.2% (v/v), and a post-induced period of 32 h in a Luria–Bertani culture. The produced BpFae activity was 7.43 U/mL, which is 2.92 times higher than that obtained under optimal conditions using IPTG as the inducer. BpFae activity was 4.82 U/mL in a 5 L fermenter under the abovementioned optimal conditions. BpFae produced a small amount of ethyl acetate but had no effect on the synthesis of other important esters in Baijiu. The results underpin further investigations into BpFae characterization and potential applications.
