Dairy manure, supplemented with agro-industrial materials, was used as the solid substrate for high yield of poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) by Bacillus subtilis CCTCC202048. The solid-state fermentation medium was optimized by response surface methodology. In the first optimization step, a Plackett–Burman design was used to evaluate the influence of related factors. Wheat bran, soybean cake and glutamic acid were found to be more compatible supplement with dairy manure and positively influenced on γ-PGA production. In the second step, the concentrations of the three supplemental nutrients above were further optimized using a Box–Behnken design. The average γ-PGA yield (4.70%) in triplicate under optimal conditions was obtained on the laboratory scale, whereas it was 3.58% at compost experiment. These would lay a foundation for lessening the pollution of dairy manure, increasing fertilizer efficiency and exploring a late-model organic fertilizer that retains water and nutrients.
