Improved levan production by novel Calidifontibacillus erzurumensis LEV207 using one variable at a time approach.

Levan, an exopolysaccharide, has applications in the medical and food sectors. Under natural conditions, levan is produced at a low concentration by microorganisms. This current study focuses on optimizing levan production by a one-variable-at-a-time approach from a novel marine bacterium, Calidifontibacillus erzurumensis LEV207.
