Kh. Son et al., AMPLIFICATION OF FARNESYL-PROTEIN TRANSFERASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY FROM ASPERGILLUS-FUMIGATUS F93 PLACKETT-BURMAN DESIGN, Biotechnology letters, 18(11), 1996, pp. 1297-1300
Fermentation optimization for the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus F93 was
performed to amplify the most promising biological activity. Twelve a
ctive variables were analysed and optimized by the Plackett-Burman des
ign, consisting of 16 experiments. Farnesyl protein transferase inhibi
tory activity showed the best response for the design, and selected pa
rameters were confirmed by separate experiments in the optimized ferme
ntation condition.
