Poly-(γ-glutamic acid) Production and Optimization from Agro-Industrial Bioresources as Renewable Substrates by Bacillus sp. FBL-2 through Response Surface Methodology [PDF]
We optimized culture conditions using Bacillus sp. FBL-2 as a poly-(γ-glutamic acid) (PGA) producing strain isolated from cheonggukjang. All experiments were performed under aerobic conditions using a laboratory scale 2.5 L fermentor.
