Figure 4From: Optimisation of batch culture conditions for cyclodextrin glucanotransferase production from Bacillus circulans DF 9RResponse of CGTase production to variation in ammonium sulphate and starch concentrations. Data fitted best to the following model: z = 4.07-0.53 * x2 + 0.26 * x3 - 0.33 * y - 1.32 * y2 (r2 = 0.88; p = 0.001) where z is the CGTase activity (in U/mL), x is the ammonium concentration and y is the starch concentration. Other terms (x, y3, x * y) were discarded (p > 0.04)Back to article page
