Optimization of medium composition for the production of exopolysaccharides from Phellinus baumii Pilát in submerged culture and the immuno-stimulating activity of exopolysaccharides

2009

Optimization of medium composition for the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Phellinus baumii Pilát in submerged culture and the immuno-stimulating activity of EPS were carried out. Firstly, the medium components having significant effect on EPS production were screened out to be glucose, yeast extract and diammonium oxalate monohydrate by using a 2(7−3) fractional factorial design. Secondly, the concentrations of the three factors were optimized using central composite design in response surface methodology. As results, a quadratic model was found to fit for EPS production, and the optimal medium composition was determined as following (g/l): 34.12 glucose, 4 peptone, 5.01 yeast extract, 0.88 diammonium oxalate monohydrate, 0.75 MgSO4 and 1 KH2PO4 and 0.0075 thiamine (VB1). A yield of 2.363 ± 0.04 g/l for EPS was observed in verification experiment. Finally, EPS from P. baumii Pilát was found to have direct immuno-stimulating activity in vitro on splenocyte proliferative response and acid phosphatase activity in peritoneal macrophages in a dose-dependent manner.
