摘要

The study is aimed at optimizing the production of a multi-enzyme cocktail by Bacillus cereus MCCB 101 using soyabean meal as a sole fermentation substrate for potential aquafeed supplementation. Initial screening revealed enhanced bacterial growth and digestive enzyme activities in soyabean meal-based medium compared to ZoBell’s medium, producing 40.56 U/mL amylase, 36.84 U/mL cellulase, 9.72 U/mL pectinase, 26.58 U/mL mannanase, 11.04 U/mL chitinase, 12.24 U/mL protease, 73.14 U/mL xylanase, and 13.62 U/mL tannase. The enzyme cocktail was relatively stable at room temperature (25 °C) and 4 °C for one month. Process parameters were optimized using a One Factor at a Time (OFAT) approach followed by Response Surface Methodology (RSM), which identified 44 °C, pH 7.5, 25 ppt salinity, 3.5% substrate concentration, as the optimal conditions. Under these conditions, an average of 1.4-fold increase in enzyme activities was achieved. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of soyabean meal-based enzyme production for sustainable aquafeed applications.
