Abstract:
Using waste tobacco stem as raw material, the medium compositions and conditions of solid state fermentation for
Bacillus thuringiensis HD-1 growth were optimized by orthogonal design and single factor experiments. The results showed that the optimal medium composition was: tobacco stem 88.13%, dusty yeast 1.17%, peptone 1.17%, ground soybean cake 5.88%, corn flour 2.93%, KH
2PO
4 0.18%, MgSO
4·7H
2O 0.24%, FeSO
4 0.12% and MnSO
4 0.18%. The best culture conditions were: inoculation concentration 6%, initial water content 65%, initial pH of the medium 7.5, under which sporulation stabilized at 9.5×10
10 CFU/g. It was feasible to produce
Bacillus thuringiensis by solid state fermentation using waste tobacco stem as the main medium.
