Statistical optimization of production conditions of β-glucosidase from Bacillus stratosphericus strain SG9.

The present study illustrates the optimization and characterization of β-glucosidase from a bacterial isolate, strain SG9. Sixty-eight different variables were first screened by one factor at a time method. The screened variable optimization was then performed by Plackett-Burman design followed by Box-Behnken response surface methodology.
