Abstract: The aim of this study was to research the optimal fermentation conditions and culture medium component for sublancin, an antimicrobial peptide produced by Bacillus subtilis YT168-6, in order to increase the content of sublancin in fermentation broth. A single factor test was used to screen out the optimal fermentation conditions, inorganic salts, carbon and nitrogen sources of fermentation medium. The optimum fermentation medium component was determined by the orthogonal test, the steepest climbing test and the response surface analysis method of Box-Behnken design. The results showed that the optimal fermentation conditions for Bacillus subtilis YT168-6 to produce the antimicrobial peptide sublancin were 1.0% bacterial inoculum, fermentation temperature 37 ℃ and initial pH 7.0, the optimum fermentation medium was K2HPO4 5 g/L, KH2PO4 5 g/L, MgSO4 10 g/L, soluble starch 30.2 g/L, peptone 23.6 g/L and corn steep liquor 18.2 g/L. After optimization, the yield of sublancin was increased from 756 μg/mL to 1 581 μg/mL, which was 2.09 times as high as before optimization. In summary, the optimal fermentation conditions and culture medium selected in this research laid the technical foundation for the subsequent industrial production of Bacillus subtilis YT168-6.
