Kh. Son et al., PRODUCTION OF A RAS FARNESYL-PROTEIN TRANSFERASE INHIBITOR FROM BACILLUS-LICHENIFORMIS USING PLACKETT-BURMAN DESIGN, Biotechnology letters, 20(2), 1998, pp. 149-151
Compound CBR004 which inhibits Ras farnesyl protein transferase, was p
roduced by Bacillus licheniformis KCTC0372BP. Potassium phosphate and
Tryptone were selected as media components for the production of CBR00
4 among 6 culture-variables using Plackett-Burman design. The yield of
CBR004 was 0.99 g/l in a stirred fermenter at the C/N ratio of 1.87.
