Two optimization techniques-(1) artificial neural network (ANN) coupled with genetic algorithm (GA) and (2) response surface methodology (RSM)-were used for media optimization in order to enhance the biosurfactant yield by Rhodococcus erythropolis MTCC 2794. ANN and RSM models were developed, incorporating the quantity of four medium components (sucrose, yeast extract, meat peptone, and toluene) as independent input variables and biosurfactant yield [calculated in terms of percent emulsification index (% EI24)] as output variable. ANN-GA and RSM were compared for their predictive and generalization ability using a separate data set of 16 experiments, for which the average quadratic errors were similar to 3 and similar to 6%, respectively. ANN-GA was found to be more accurate and consistent in predicting optimized conditions and maximum yield than RSM. For the ANN-GA model, the values of correlation coefficient and average quadratic error were similar to 0.99 and similar to 3%, respectively. It was also shown that ANN-based models could be used accurately for sensitivity analysis. ANN-GA-optimized media gave about a 3.5-fold enhancement in biosurfactant yield.</p>10aArtificial neural network10aBiosurfactant10aGenetic algorithm10aMedia optimization10aResponse surface methodology10aRhodococcus1 aPal, Moumita, P.1 aVaidya, Bhalchandra, K.1 aDesai, Kiran, M.1 aJoshi, Renuka, M.1 aNene, Sanjay, N.1 aKulkarni, Bhaskar, D.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/media-optimization-biosurfactant-production-rhodococcus-erythropolis-mtcc-2794-artificial-0
