elucidates the main effect plot of each examined variable on MB degradation. The main effects characterize the deviations of the average between high and low levels for each variable. In case of the main effect of a factor is positive, the response (MB degradation) increases as the factor is changed from low to high level and is clearly observed in NaNO3, molasses and inoculum size. Whereas pH and MB lines deviated substantially from high to low level confirming its effect in low value on increasing MB degradation. Other factors such as K2HPO4, NaCl, KCL, MgSO4, 7H2O and incubation time exhibited neglectable effect on response, with the lines deviating by a very small degree from the horizontal baseline.
