Abstract: Aiming to increase living spore production of a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strain JQD117, we employed response surface analysis methods to optimize the culture medium and the flask fermentation conditions. Based on preliminary results from single factor experiments, we used response surface analysis to model and optimize the components of culture medium and parameters of flask fermentation conditions. The best ratios of each single factors for the strain Bt JQD117 were 2.00% cotton seed cake meal, 1.00% soybean meal, 1.50% yeast extract, 2.00% soluble starch, 0.30% CaCO3, 0.04% MnSO4, 0.18% MgSO4, and 0.04% K2HPO4. For fermentation conditions, the optimum parameters were 3% inoculation amount, 60 mL liquid volume in flask, 150 r/min at 30 ℃, and pH 7.5. Theoretically, the living spore can reach 6.75×109 spore/mL under this optimized condition. The verification experiment showed that the living spore yield was 5.97×109 spore/mL. Our results have placed a critical foundation and theoretical basis for large-scale application of strain JQD117 for green control of Bradysia odoriphaga and the safe production of vegetables such as leeks.
