This strain was characterized as Lactobacillus plantarum and was found to produce an exopolysaccharide (EPS) in quantitative amounts. The objective of the present paper is to determine optimum media composition and inoculum volume for the stated fermentative production of the EPS. A hybrid methodology comprising the Plackett-Burman (PB) design method, artificial neural networks (ANN) and genetic algorithms (GA) was utilized. Specifically, the PB, ANN and GA forrnalisms were used for identifying influential media components, modeling non-linear process and optimizing the process, respectively. More specifically, the PB method was used to determine those media components, which significantly influence the EPS yield. By ignoring the less influential media components, the dimensionality of the input space of the process model could be reduced significantly. Out of the five media components only three were found influential namely, lactose, casein hydrolysate and triammonium citrate. Next, an ANN-based process model was developed for approximating the non-linear relationship between the fermentation operating variables and the EPS yield. The average % error and correlation coefficient for the developed ANN model were 4.8 and 0.999, respectively. The input parameters of ANN model were subsequently optimized using the GA formalism for obtaining maximum EPS yield in batch fermentation. The optimized media composition has predicted the yield of 7.01 g/l. The GA-optimized solution comprising media composition and inoculum volume was verified experimentally and it comes out be 7.14 g/l. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Production of xylanase from a fungal culture by submerged fermentation and optimization of the operating conditions for maximum activity are the two aims of the present study. Penicillium janthinellum NCIM 1169 with Mandels-Weber medium, sugarcane bagassse (40\#) as a carbon source and beef extract as a nitrogen source were used in the experiments. We did 41 experiments to see the effect of variations in carbon, nitrogen source, pH, and inoculum on xylanase activity. This data was then used to build an input/output model using multiple linear regression, back propagation neural network and lazy learning algorithm. It was found that lazy learning model correlated well in mapping input/output data. This model was then utilized as an objective function in genetic algorithm to find the optimal combination of the operating conditions to get the maximum xylanase activity. It was observed that with carbon source, 1.63%, nitrogen source, 0.16%, pH, 4.1, and inoculum, 5.5%, maximum xylanase activity of 28.98 +/- 1.73 U/ml was achieved. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
