A multiple linear regression analyses were performed to screen for the significant factors simultaneously influencing production of delta-endotoxin, proteolytic activities and spore formation by a Bacillus thuringiensis ...
Application of statistical experimental design for optimisation of bioinsecticides production by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain on cheap medium
(2013 , Article)
In order to overproduce bioinsecticides production by a sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain, an optimal composition of a cheap medium was defined using a response surface methodology. In a first step, a Plackett-Burman ...
