Abstract:
The culture medium was optimized to improve the yield of milk-clotting enzyme from Mucor miehei.The results of the single factor experiment showed that the best carbon source, the optimal nitrogen source, and the best enzyme inducer were glucose, ammonium nitrate, and whey powder, respectively.On this basis, through the orthogonal experimental design, the optimal extraneous components we obtained were as follows:2.5% glucose, 1.0% ammonium nitrate, and 2.0% whey powder. In the optimized medium, milk-clotting activity of Mucor miehei reached ( 3649.52 ± 3.62) SU /mL and increased by 54.5%.
