Optimization of Bacillus Subtilis Natto Immobilization Process on Alginate – ...inventionjournals
Nattokinase is a potent fibrinolytic enzyme with the potential for fighting cardiovascular diseases. In this study, Bacillus subtilis natto were immobilized in the alginate – chitosan complex for fermentation of nattokinase enzyme. Six factors affecting the efficiency of immobilization cells were screened by Plackett – Burman design including: concentration of alginate, concentration of chitosan, pH of chitosan, concentration of CaCl2, added cells density, shaking time after supplementing chitosan. Results of optimization have identified two factors affecting the efficiency of cell immobilization. They are concentration of alginate (2.5%) and added cells density (approximately 5.86 million colonies per milliliter). With these two factors optimized and others kept at the normal level, immobilization efficiency reached 90.73%. After Bacillus subtilis natto had been immobilized by optimization of parameters, we conducted application for fermenting nattokinase. For 24 hours of fermentation, nattokinase enzyme activity reached 71.80 ± 0.19 FU/ml. Immobilized Bacillus subtilis natto cells were reused 6 times and on the 6 th time of reuse, nattokinase enzyme activity only decreased 2.7% in compared with the 1st reuse.

Fibrinolytic enzymes produced by microorganisms have been attractive in prevention and
treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) by their low-cost and safety. This study focused
on screening for the existence of firinolytic enzymes in Vietnamese traditional fermented
soybean paste products and isolation and identifiation of related bacteria. Sixteen fermented
soybean paste samples were collected over three regions of Vietnam in which seven samples
gave the positive results on firinolytic enzyme activity. Miso (MS) and Green Chili (GC)
samples had the highest firinolytic enzyme activities (1.81 and 0.77 FU/g, respectively).
According to morphological features, four strains of bacteria were isolated and all of them
were found to produce firinolytic enzymes. The enzyme activities produced by four isolated
strains were in a range of 29.7 - 77.9 FU/g after culturing on solid state media for 24 h. The
isolated strains were identifid as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens using 16 rRNA sequence and

Bioconversion of Penicillin to CephalosporinIOSR Journals
Cephalosporins are known as 3rd generation broad spectrum Beta lactam antibiotics, which can also be produced synthetically. Commonly, chemical ring expansion followed by an enzymatic removal of the phenylacetyl side chain is commonly employed to convert penicillin G into 7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid, the precursor for the manufacture of semisynthetic cephalosporins. This process requires several steps, is expensive and highly polluting. Thus there is a need to device a simple biological route to replace the chemical process. A mutant of Streptomyces clavuligerus NP1 was reported to converts Penicillin G to Deacetoxycephalosporin G (DAOG;phenylacetyl-7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid) enzymatically[5,8] . This enzyme, deacetoxycephalosporin synthase has the potential for the large scale transformation of Penicillin G to deacetoxycephalosporin. The present work studies the conditions required for efficient transformation of Penicillin G to Deacetoxycephalosporin using the wild type strain Streptomyces clavuligerus . Detection of cephalosporin was carried out using various methods. Additionally succinic acid formation was also studied as it could be used as a commercially important by product of the transformation. Deacetoxycephalosporin synthase also extracted and partially purified and characterised.

The formation of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose by commercially available Biolacta FN5 (β- galactosidase, EC 3.2.1.23) derived from Bacillus circulans was studied under immobilized enzyme condition. The present work utilizes hydrophobic membrane (0.22 m pore size) for immobilization of enzyme. Experiments were conducted in a three compartment cell. The middle compartment (~25 mL) being separated by immobilized membranes was utilized for feed lactose solution; whereas, adjacent compartments were filled with distilled water. The reacted mixture solution was analyzed for tri-, tetra- and penta- forms of GOS which depended on varying amounts of initial lactose (ILC) and enzyme concentrations. Total GOS formation increased from 7 to 28% for ILC from 50 to 200 g/L. However, tri-saccharide was the major (67%) in comparison to tetra (27%) and penta (6%) forms of GOS. There was marginal difference of GOS formations while comparing the result (GOS yield) under both free (~30%) and immobilized (~28%) conditions.

Horseradish peroxidase was immobilized onto latex from three different plants viz. Calotropis procera, Euphorbia royleana and Alstonia scholaris with 0.51 ± 0.01, 0.37 ± 0.01, 0.46 ± 0.01 mg/cm2 conjugation yield and 62.07 ± 0.85, 66.1 ± 0.85, 71.24 ± 0.80 % retention of specific activity respectively. The support, before and after addition of peroxidase was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transmission infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). Optimum pH, optimum temperature and changes in kinetic parameters (Ea, Km and Vmax) for immobilized peroxidases were studied and found to differ from that of free peroxidase. Alstonia scholaris latex was most effective in stabilizing the structure of peroxidase during storage at 4°C, whereas thermal stability and reusability of peroxidase was better on Calotropis procera latex. Analytical use of Calotropis procera latex bound peroxidase for determination of phenolic content of fruit juices has also been demonstrated.

Response surface methodology was engaged for the optimization of diverse nutritional and physical parameters for laccase production by Streptomyces chartreusis strain NBRC 12753 in the submerged fermentation process. Screening of production parameters was executed using Plackett–Burman design and the variables with statistically momentous effects on laccase production were recognized. Variables such as Cupric sulphate, Pyrogallol and Yeast extract were selected for further optimization studies using Box-Behnken design. The multiple regression coefficients (R2) had a value of 0.9606, indicating that the model could explain up to 96.06 % of the variability of the response. This methodology facilitated analysis of the experimental data to establish the optimum conditions for the process and understand the contribution of individual factors to evaluate the response under optimal conditions. Thus application of Box-Behnken approach appears to have potential usage in process application.

Trypanocidal Activity of Arsenicum Album (C-30) against Trypanosoma Evansiinventionjournals
In quest of a new drug for the treatment of trypanosomosis, a zoonotic disease, Arsenicum album tincture (C-30) (homeopathic drug) at concentrations ((250-1000 µg mL-1) was screened against Trypanosoma evansi. In this method, a Vero cell line was grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) (Sigma) in 96- well flat bottom micro culture plates (Nunc, Denmark). Each well received 100 µl of DMEM containing 5x105 cells/mL. The plates were incubated at 37๐C under 5% CO2 for 48 h to complete development of monolayer. The suspension (100 mL of medium with trypanosomes) was added at rate of 1:1 to test A. album tincture and the ELISA plate was incubated under the same conditions mentioned above. In vitro cytotoxicity was performed on the same medium at concentrations (1.56-100 µg/mL) but without supplement of foetal calf serum in triplicate and incubated under the same conditions described previously. Results showed that at 250 µg/mL of A. Album, there was marked reduction in trypanosomes count (40.±0.0 to 22.33±0.33) at 9 h of incubation. There was drastic reduction of trypanosomes count at concentration of 750 µg/mL ((40.±0.0 to 1.667±0.33). But, at 1000 µg/mL of A. album, trypanosomes were not detected in the corresponding ELISA plate wells at 7 h of incubation (40.±0.0 to 0.0±0.0) that was statically the same as diminazine aceturate, the reference drug, at 50 µg/mL. A. album and diminazine aceturate were cytotoxic to Vero cells except at 12.5-1.56 and 25-1.56 µg/mL. A. album (C-30) was 50% less cytotoxic in comparison to diminazine aceturate. For in vivo trypanocidal activity, mice treated with A. album at 200 mg/kg body weight died at day 8 post infected. A. album prolonged the survival day of the mice but could not cure them. Trypanocidal activity was concentration-time depended. A. album (C-30) did possess moderate trypanocidal activity, which could be further research on to obtain its full potential.
Evaluation of LdhIsozymes Following the Treatment of Methyl Parathion in the ...inventionjournals
Lactate dehydrogenase converts lactate into pyruvate and has a very important role in carbohydrate metabolism. LDH activity depends on its isozymes and their activities change under pathological conditions. The increase in LDH activity suggests the increased anaerobic conditionsunder the influence of methylparathion to meet the energy demand when the aerobic oxidation is lowered. Following the treatment of methyl parathion there was a differential percentage in increase or decrease of different isozymes in the fish Labeo rohita. There were three distinct bands during the 96h of treatment almost parallel to LDH5 band of human serum suggesting liver damage. This was also confirmed by histopathological studies.
Intrusion Detection System for Classification of Attacks with Cross Validationinventionjournals
Now days, due to rapidly uses of internet, the patterns of network attacks are increasing. There are various organizations and institutes are using internet and access or share the sensitive information in network. To protect information from unauthorized or intruders is one of the important issues. In this paper, we have used decision tree techniques like C4.5 and CART as classifier for classification of attacks. We have proposed an ensemble model that is combination of C4.5 and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) as robust classifier for classification of attacks. We have used NSL-KDD data set with binary and multiclass problem with 10-fold cross validation. The proposed ensemble model gives satisfactory accuracy as 99.67% and 99.53% in case of binary class and multiclass NSL-KDD data set respectively.

LDH activity depends on its isozymes and their activities change under pathological conditions. The increase in LDH activity suggests the increased anaerobic conditionsunder the influence of methylparathion to meet the energy demand when the aerobic oxidation is lowered. Following the treatment of methyl parathion there was a differential percentage in increase or decrease of different isozymes in the fish Labeo rohita. There were three distinct bands during the 96h of treatment almost parallel to LDH5 band of human serum suggesting liver damage. This was also confirmed by histopathological studies.
Intrusion Detection System for Classification of Attacks with Cross Validationinventionjournals
Now days, due to rapidly uses of internet, the patterns of network attacks are increasing. There are various organizations and institutes are using internet and access or share the sensitive information in network. To protect information from unauthorized or intruders is one of the important issues. In this paper, we have used decision tree techniques like C4.5 and CART as classifier for classification of attacks. We have proposed an ensemble model that is combination of C4.5 and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) as robust classifier for classification of attacks. We have used NSL-KDD data set with binary and multiclass problem with 10-fold cross validation. The proposed ensemble model gives satisfactory accuracy as 99.67% and 99.53% in case of binary class and multiclass NSL-KDD data set respectively.
Antiemetic Prophylaxis in Major Gynaecological Surgery With Intravenous Grani...inventionjournals
In a prospective double blind randomized study we evaluated the prophylactic anti emetic efficacy of granisetron, a 5HT3 receptor antagonist and metoclopramide, a benzamide anti emetic on postoperative nausea and vomiting after major gynaecological surgery under general anaesthesia. The patients received a single dose of granisetron, 40mcg/kg (Group A, n = 25) or metoclopramide, 0.15mg/kg (Group B, n = 25) before induction of anaesthesia in a coded syringe. The response was assessed during 0-4 hrs, 4-8 hrs, 8-16hrs and 16-24 hrs time intervals after recovery from anaesthesia by means of presence or absence of nausea, retching or vomiting. The overall control of PONV during early postoperative period (0-4 hrs) did not show statistically significant differences after administration of either drug. The incidence of PONV during the next 20 hours was 12% and 48% with Group A (Granisetron) and Group B (Metoclopramide) respectively. Nausea scores are significantly lower in-group A (Granisetron) than in Group B (Metoclopramide) in all the four assessment periods. Although there were no emetic episodes in the granisetron group, 32% of patients in metoclopramide group were observed to have such episodes during the assessment periods. (P value< 0.05). No clinically important adverse events due to drugs were observed in any of the groups. In conclusion, the prophylactic use of granisetron is more effective and superior to metoclopramide in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients under going major gynaecological surgery under general anaesthesia.
Genotoxicity of Goji Berry (Lyciumbarbarum) In Vivo Mammalian Cellsinventionjournals
Lyciumbarbarum (Gojji berry) belongs to family Salonaceae which is found in China and Himalayan. This herb is used to prevent various diseases and in medical treatments as an alternative medicine being widely used for its antioxidant and revitalizing potential effects. In recent years, Gojji has become increasingly popular in Europe and North America as a "superfruit" and dietary supplement. The belief that herbal products do not bring any risk to health, is part of popular culture. However the term "natural" assigned to many products cannot assure no health risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible genotoxic effects of aqueous extract of Lyciumbarbarum (Gojji berry) by micronucleus test and comet assay. Thirty Rattus norvegicus were divided into three equal groups: 1) experimental group, submitted to Gojji berry (200mg/kg orally); 2) positive control group (cyclophosphamide), and; 3) negative control group (distilled water). Micronucleus Tests were done by smear method of bone marrow cells performed after 48h for acute, and 72h for chronic exposure. The comet assay was performed on peripheral blood taken from the tail of each animal 4h, and 24h after intervention. Cytotoxicity was assessed by observing the DNA damage measuring the percentage of DNA in the tail (% DNA- measurement of the proportion of the total DNA present in the tail) and the tail moment (TM-tail length times the percentage of DNA in the tail), calculated by 100 nucleoids per animal and the presence of micronuclei in 2,000 polychromatic erythrocytes per animal. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey test at 5% significance was used comparing the results. The data showed no significant difference in the frequency of DNA damage and the number of micronuclei between the experimental group and the negative control group. The results also suggest that the aqueous extract of Lyciumbarbarum (Gojji berry) at the dose of 200 mg/kg showed no genotoxic effect, which could, to a certain point, justifies its use.
Different Approaches of Software Requirement Prioritizationinventionjournals
In software system development, it can be a challenge for people to select the ‘right’ requirement among several or many options if it is not obvious which requirement is desirable. Requirements prioritization helps people to discover the most desirable requirements. It seems that most requirements prioritization techniques work well on a small number of requirements, but many of them have constraints on medium to large numbers of requirements. Requirement prioritization process is used to determine which candidate requirement of a software project should be included in a certain release, for this purpose different techniques are used. These techniques use different approaches and consider different factors for prioritization e.g. cost, value, risk, benefit etc.

Study of the Thermal Behavior of the Plaster Reinforced Vegetable Fiberinventionjournals
This study focused on the characterization of a heat insulating material, aims to determine the thermal characteristics of the plaster reinforced with vegetable fibers. It intends to replace the fibers of sisal generally used in practice to strengthen the plaster is replaced by those of the RheckthophyllumCamerunense (RC), a fiber of humid equatorial forests, in applications such as the manufacture of the staff, separating walls of dwellings. The objective of this work is to make a comparative assessment of the thermal diffusivity using a material composed of high porous plaster, non-reinforced and strengthened with the new plant fiber. It also aims to study the influence of the architecture of the RC fibers. The testing of thermal transfer by infrared thermography without contact are conducted on the composite plates. The resolution of the heat equation by finite difference with Matlab program permit the identification of the thermal diffusivity by fitting the theoretical thermogramme representation on the measures curve. The results reveal that the vegetable fibers increase the thermal performance of the plaster; that the RC fibers favor the isolation function better than the fibers of sisal and that their random distribution in the material proved to be more favorable.
Amplification of High Frequency Wave through Nonlinear Wave Particle Interact...inventionjournals
A theoretical study on the amplification of high frequency wave has been made on the basis of a nonlinear wave particle interaction with drift eave turbulence in an inhomogeneous plasma. The drift wave turbulence, which is one of the common features of inhomogeneous plasma, is taken as the low frequency resonant mode field and is found to be strongly in phase relation with thermal particles. The plasma particles accelerated by drift wave turbulence field, may transfer energy to high frequency ion acoustic wave through a modulated field. A Max wellian distribution function model for inhomogeneous plasma has been considered under the standard local approximation, we have estimated the growth rate of ion acoustic wave, which is obtained by using the nonlinear dispersion relation. It has been found that amplification of ion acoustic wave is possible at the expense of drift turbulence energy

Introduction: Oral diseases can be greatly controlled by reducing the microbial load in the oral cavity and this can be achieved by maintaining proper oral hygiene.Tooth brushes are the most commonly used oral hygiene aid to promote oral health and prevent dental diseases. The insertion of fixed appliances alters the oral microbiological profile, thus increasing the risk for caries and gingivitis considerably. Aim: To assess the microbial growth of S.Mutans and Lactobacillus between and among the brushes. Setting and Study Design: A Hospital setting and Randomized Control study design Methods:A total of 56 (MB) patients aged 16-26 years received a toothbrush [Regular soft bristle design (group-A) and Orthodontic bristle design (group B)],A sterile gamma radiated pouch and checklist was distributed to each participant. After 2 weeks period the brushes were collected and placed in 5ml saline solution (0.05g Sodium Chloride). The suspension was incubated on selective agar plates and the amount of Streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli for each brush head was assessed. Results:The retention of S.Mutanswas found to be higher in group A, as compared to group B and was found to be statistically more significant between the two groups (P<0.001). The retention of Lactobacillus was also found to be higher in group A, as compared to group B and was found to be statistically significant between the groups (P= 0.001). However, there was no significant difference (P= 0.101) observedamong the microbial growth of S.Mutans and Lactobacillus in two bristle designs. Conclusions: Regular soft bristle design had a higher microbial load than those of subjects using orthodontic bristle design, a more frequent replacement of toothbrushes during t treatment may be advisable. Due to significant differences between the two bristle designs, the orthodontic toothbrush is recommended for patients undergoing orthodontic t appliances

The aim of this paper is to propose a new method of understanding and teaching numbers as spatialtemporal experience based on rational elements and components. The method contributes to the solution of the problem that with traditional methods of number representation much of their "inner life" remains hidden, inaccessible to learners. This requires an innovative approach in rethinking on the very basic level of the number system: numerical digits and their organization. The two main ideas of our discovery are: 1) quantitative representation of digits, and 2) decoupling the adjacent positions in a positional numeral system by means of rational phases

The study aimed to investigate the correlations between some anthropometric and lipid profile parameters, as well the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values of Bulgarian females with type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 212 women of Bulgarian ethnicity with T2DM of the age groups 40-60 and 61-80 years were included in the research. The anthropometric parameters: waist and hip circumferences were measured, and body mass index (BMI) and waist/hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. We also studied the lipid profile parameters: total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). A comparative study of the lipid profile criteria revealed significant differences in the levels of triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and VLDL between the two age groups. Differences were found with regard to the values of glycated hemoglobin too. Correlations between the above anthropometric parameters and the lipid profile of patients with T2DM were examined. In patients of the age group 40-60 years a moderate strength correlation in opposite direction (negative or inverse correlation) was found between HbA1c and BMI (Pearson correlation coefficient 0.30-0.50, p<0.05). In the age group 61-80 years a low strength negative correlation was found between BMI and total cholesterol, as well as between BMI and LDL.

Nattokinase is a potent fibrinolytic enzyme with the potential for fighting cardiovascular diseases. In this study, Bacillus subtilis natto were immobilized in the alginate – chitosan complex for fermentation of nattokinase enzyme. Six factors affecting the efficiency of immobilization cells were screened by Plackett – Burman design including: concentration of alginate, concentration of chitosan, pH of chitosan, concentration of CaCl2, added cells density, shaking time after supplementing chitosan. Results of optimization have identified two factors affecting the efficiency of cell immobilization. They are concentration of alginate (2.5%) and added cells density (approximately 5.86 million colonies per milliliter). With these two factors optimized and others kept at the normal level, immobilization efficiency reached 90.73%. After Bacillus subtilis natto had been immobilized by optimization of parameters, we conducted application for fermenting nattokinase. For 24 hours of fermentation, nattokinase enzyme activity reached 71.80 ± 0.19 FU/ml. Immobilized Bacillus subtilis natto cells were reused 6 times and on the 6 th time of reuse, nattokinase enzyme activity only decreased 2.7% in compared with the 1st reuse.

The Role of Cell Wall-Degrading Enzymes in the Development of Anthracnose Dis...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
— The ability of Colletotrichumtruncatum CP2 in producing pectinolytic and cellulolytic enzymes was evaluated by shake flask fermentations. The results of enzymatic activity experiment indicated that PG was the first cell wall-degrading enzymes detected and the activities obtained were higher (0.24±0.10 U/mL) than other enzymes, which appeared later and in lower amount. After the cell wall was degraded by the action of PG, further degradation of the cell wall was affected by pectin methylesterases, pectin lyase, pectate lyase and cellulases. The disparity in enzymatic activity at different intervals may suggest their specific role for pathogenesis at proper timings.

112Niosomes are vesicles made up of nonionic surfactant in aqueous2 media resulting in closed bilayer structures.
Niosomes are also able to entrap hydrophilic substances in the inner aqueous phase or hydrophobic drugs by partitioning of these molecules into their hydrophobic domains.
Moreover, compared to liposomes, niosomes offer higher chemical and physical stability with lower cost and greater availability of surfactant classes.
Different types of surfactants are proposed as starting material to prepare niosomes, i.e. the SPAN® series and the Bri22j® series, and their physicochemical properties can modulate the stability and the features of vesicular systems because they are able to influence the fluidity of bilayers.
Niosomes have been reported to enhance the residence time of drugs in the stratum corneum and epidermis, while reducing the systemic absorption of the drug and22 improve penetration of the trapped substanc2es across the skin.---

Effective in vitro gene delivery to murine cancerous brain cells using carbon...Nanomedicine Journal (NMJ)
Abstract
Objective(s):
Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been widely applied at molecular and cellular levels due to its exceptional properties. Studies based on conjugation of CNTs with biological molecules indicated that biological activity is preserved. Polyethylenimine (PEI) is explored in designing novel gene delivery vectors due to its ability to condense plasmid DNA through electrostatic attraction. In this study functionalization and grafting polyethylenimine onto the surface of carbon nanotube was used to improve the solubility and biocompatibility.
Materials and Methods:
The effect of molecular weight of polymer on final efficacy of vectors has been investigated using three different molecular weights of polymer. In this study no linker was used and both segments (PEI and CNT) were directly attached resulted in the synthesis of three different vectors. Synthesized vectors were tested for their ability to condense plasmid DNA and cellular toxicity using ethidium bromide and MTT assays. Size and Zeta potential of nanoparticles was determined using Malvern zeta sizer. Evaluation of transfection efficiency of vectors was carried out on N2A cell line by different methods including qualitative fluorescence imaging, flow cytometry and luciferase assay.
Results:
All three synthesized vectors bear positive surface charges with sizes in the range of 85-190 nm. More than 80 percent of treated cells were viable and in the case of V25 significant improvement in reducing cytotoxicity compared to unmodified polymer was observed. Obtained results indicated that vector containing PEI 1.8 kDa has the greatest improvement in terms of its transfection efficiency compared to unmodified polymer.
Conclusion:
Conjugation of PEI with carbon nanotube les to new vectors with lowered cytotoxicity and higher transfection efficiency. The highest transfection efficiency was obtained with the lowest molecular weight PEI.

R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract: Nattokinase is an enzyme with strong fibrinolytic activity that can be used for preventing
thrombolytic diseases. In this study, we make survey the effect fermentation conditions to B.subtilis natto strain
on the soybean substrate to enhance the nattokinase activity and optimization biosynthesis capabilities of
nattokinase by Plackett-Burman experimental combined with response surface methodology RSM-CCD. The
optimal results received nattokinase activity 136.6 FU/g. We also try to create dried products by freeze drying
process in the conditions -80°C, 24 hours, 6-7 Pa. After that we examined moisture and nattokinase activity in
these product. The results of experiments show that moisture was 4.3%, nattokinase activity was 515 FU/g. This
research help expand application for creating soybeans powder products with hight nattokinase activity.

I. Introduction
According to World Health Organization estimates that 17.3 million people died of thrombosis in 2008. Every
year in the United States (USA) has about 6 million people with heart failure, of which there are about 1,5
million people with cardiovascular disease. The cause of more than 28% of deaths worldwide by thrombosis.
Although the human body has several kinds of enzymes for creating thrombi, it uses only one “plasmin” for
decomposing and dissolving thrombi. The properties of nattokinase closely resemble that of plasmin.
Nattokinase, extracted from Natto, is a fibrinolytic enzyme that effectively breaksdown fibrin strands and the
thrombi this fibrin holds together[5]. Nattokinase, therefore, undeniably promotes mechanisms of action that
occur naturally. Once fibrin is degraded, clotting time is slowed. Nattokinase has been found to lyse (or
breakdown) fibrin strands and plasmin substrates directly[4]. In the process of clot regulation, prokinase is
converted into urokinase, a process that is enhanced by nattokinase. Breaking fibrin down into its degradation
products is also enhanced, converting plasminogen to plasmin. Nattokinase increases tissue plasminogen
activator also, enhancing fibrin breakdown and clotting reduction further. By reducing thrombus formation,
nattokinase decelerates the progression of plaque formation and reverses evolving atherosclerotic lesions[10].
The aim of this study was to optimize the fermentation conditions to maximize nattokinase activity.
II. Materials And Methods
2.1 Materials
Microorganism and inoculum preparation: In this study, Bacillus subtilis natto was provided from Ho Chi Minh
City University of Technology. The microorganism was grown on Nutrient Agar 37°C in 24h to prepare for next
stage.
Chemicals: Crystal violet, fushin, lugol, phosphat buffer saline (PSB), fibrinogen, borate buffer (pH 8.5),
thrombin , trichloroacetic.
- The analysis was performed at Biotechnology lab Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and
experimental procedure to create dried soybean powder products is performed at Ho Chi Minh City University
of Food Industry
2.2 Methods
2.2.1 Microbiological Methods
Macroscopic observed protocol: Preparing Petri dishes with Nutrient Agar and the test tube containing 9ml
distill water was sterile to diluting sample. Dilutting of the culture to obtain concentration 10-3
to 10-7
. Taking
0.1ml inoculate into Petri dishes and using to inoculating hook to can through the entire surface of the disk. Petri
dishes were incubated at temperature 37°C for 1 day to form colonies. Observing and recording morphological,
color and shape of colonies [18]
Observing microscopically by staining: Cell staining is a technique that can be used to better visualize cells and
cell components under a microscope. By using different stains, one can preferentially stain certain cell
components, such as a nucleus or a cell wall, or the entire cell. Most stains can be used on fixed, or non-living

cells, while only some can be used on living cells; some stains can be used on Gram (+) or Gram (-)
microorganisms.[18]
Method of determining B.subtilis natto proliferation with time: B.subtilis natto was cultured on Nutrient Agar
culture. After that, determine the number of bacterial cell by plate count method after 12 hours. Building growth
curve by graphing the variation of biomass cells with time. Thereby determining the stage of development of
microorganisms.[2]
2.2.2 The Plackett-Burman design and response surface methodology RSM-CCD
The Plackett-Burman design: The aim of this study was to obtain the optimal operation conditions of the
fermentation process in order to achieve maximum yield of nattokinase, which was determined by the
nattokinase activity assay. The higher enzyme activity obtained from the fermentation represented the higher
yield of nattokinase activity. After the fermentation process was carefully reviewed, four factors appeared to be
very essential to the enzyme productivity. Screening the significant variables based on the preliminary study, we
chose the following four variables as the experimental variables: Bacteria inoculate (X1), time (X2), pH (X3)
and temperature (X4). Each variable had two levels to be examined a high (+1) and low level (−1). The high and
low levels selected represented the extremes of normal operating ranges. Table 1 shows the variables and levels
in detail. The screening, experimental design. Design – expert 10.0 [3][1]

Optimization by response surface methodology: Response surface methodology is an empirical modeling
technique used to evaluate the relationship between a set of the controlled experimental variables and the
measured responses. A prior knowledge and understanding of the process and process variables under
investigation are necessary to create a more realistic model. Based on the results of variable screening, the
model examined the experimental variables required for optimal nattokinase activity using the Plackett-Burman
design and response surface methodology.
In developing the regression model, the experimental variables were coded according to the following equation:
Xi=
Xi − X0
ΔXi
where Xi is the coded value of the variable Xi, X0 is the value of Xi at the center point, and Xi is the step
change value.The range and the levels of the experimental variables investigated in this study are shown in table
1 the Plackett - Burman design. The central composite design (CCD), which is widely used in practice because
of its efficiency with respect to the number of runs required [12], is employed for fitting a second-order response
surface model. Generally, a CCD for k factors requires 2k factorial runs, 2k axial runs and at least one center
point (typically, three to five center points are used). From the step of factor identification, there are three
important factors (i.e., Factors C, D and G) that may significantly affect the enzyme productivity. Table 2 shows
the level planning of the CCD with each factor containing five levels (i.e., -α, -1, 0, +1 and +α). Fermented
temperature was selected as the center level for this factor.[1][12]

Once the experiments were performed, the regression model was constructed by fitting the experimental results
with a second order polynomial. The optimal conditions of selected variables were found using the regression
model and by analysis of the response surface plots.
Response functions are selected nattokinase activity (FU/g). Modeling is represented by a equation quadratic:

2.2.3 Nattokinase activity measurement
From fermentation broth dilute ratio of 1:1 with distill water to 50ml centrifuge tubes. The B.subtilis natto cells
were harvested from the fermentation media via centrifugation (4,000 rpm) for 20 min at 4°C and then
resuspended in Phosphate Buffered Saline. B.subtilis natto lysis was carried out by sonication on ice (6 times
with 1-min intervals, at the 50W). The sonicated cell suspension was centrifuged at 4,000 rpm for 15 min at
4°C. After that collection 1ml supernatant centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C to remove cellular
debris, enzyme solution was used for activity assay [16].
Fibrinolytic enzyme activity was determined by measuring the hydrolysis ability on fibrin according to [17] with
some modifications. To 1.4 mL of 50 mM sodium borate buffer (pH8.5), a 0.4 mL of 0.72% (w/v) fibrinogen
solution was added and kept at 37°C for 5 min. To there sulting fibrinogen solution was then added 0.1 mL of
thrombin (20U/mL) and kept at 37°C for another 10 min. After the addition of 0.l mL of enzyme, the proteolytic
reaction was performed at 37°C for 60 min. After the reaction was ceased by adding 2 mL of 0.2 M
trichloroacetic acid (TCA), samples were kept at ambient temperature for 20 min and then centrifuged at 14000
rpm for 5 min. One unit of fibrinolytic activity was defined as the amount of enzyme that caused an increase of
0.01in the absorbance at 275 nm within 60 min reaction at 37°C.[1]

III. Results And Discussion
After diluted samples and cultured on Nutrient Agar, incubated 24 hours, examined the morphological
characteristics of B.subtilis natto with recorded the results: Colony have circular sharp, dry surfaces, irregular
margin looks like serrated, wrinkled surface. Continue to Gram staining and observing by microscope to
examine the microscopic characteristics. [11][12] Gram staining and observing by microscope we found
bacteria forms follows as: rod-shaped, violet color, short, small, round head. This is similar with the theoretical
basisrod-shaped, oval spores, Gram-positive is approximately 0.5-0.8µm x 1.5-3.0µm. The colonies are round,
their edges are irregular jagged, their diameters are from 3 to 5 mm, and they have light yellow, dark heart
[2][3].
From the results of examining macroscopically and microscopically, we affirm thoroughbred B.subtilis natto.
This strain will be subculture to keep and use for the next experiment.
3.1 Effect of fermentation conditions to nattokinase activity
The effect of bacteria inoculate B.subtilis natto to nattokinase activity: In this experiment bacteria inoculate
surveyed from 104
CFU/g to 107
CFU/g. The survey results nattokinase activity after fermentation showed the
highest activity is 106
CFU/g and 107
CFU/g, respectively 113.23 FU/g and 113.44 FU/g the difference do not
statistically significant. Bacteria inoculate 106
CFU/g corresponding to 18h growth biomass level 1 and bacteria
inoculate 107
CFU/g corresponding to 20h growth biomass level 1. Thus to reduce the time period of
proliferation of breeding level 1 while ensuring bacteria inoculate to high enzyme activity, we chose bacteria
inoculate 106
CFU/g.
The results effect of fermentation time to nattokinase activity: This survey was carried out in the time from 12h
to 48h. Survey results enzymatic activities after the fermentation with time showed that the highest nattokinase
activity at the time 36h and 48h fermented with nattokinase activity respectively 118.43 FU/g and 118.33 FU/g
and differences do not statistical significance. From the results above survey to obtain fermented products with
the highest enzyme activity and reduce the fermented time of the production process we selected fermentation
time is 36h. The results are consistent with previous studies of Dia-Shin wanget al “Optimization of nattokinase
production conduction using response surface methodology” with the optimum time is 37.0817 hour. [1]
The results effect of pH to nattokinase activity: In this experiment we survey pH from 5.5 to 8. The survey
results from 5.5 to 7.5 corresponding enzyme activity increases with pH increase and decrease in pH 8. At pH 7

and pH 7.5 is the highest and the difference do not statistically significant. According to the survey results to
ensure high enzyme activity, we can perform fermentation at pH 7 or 7.5. The result are consistent with previous
studies of Peddapalli Siva Rasagnya1 And MeenaVangalapati “Studies on Optimization of Process Parameters
for Nattokinase Production by Bacillus subtilis NCIM 2724 and Purification by Liquid-Liquid Extraction”[2]
The results effect of temperature to nattokinase activity: Through the survey above we know the highest
nattokinase enzyme activity when fermented at a temperature of 37°C with nattokinase activity is 119.92 FU/g.

3.2 Plackett–Burman design
The model F-value of 21151.67 implies the model is significant. There is only a 0.54% chance that an F-value
this large could occur due to noise. Values of “Prob>F” less than 0.0500 indicate model terms are significant. In
this case x1, x2, x3 are significant model terms, x4 are not significant. "Adeq Precision" measures the signal to
noise ratio. A ratio greater than 4 is desirable. Your ratio of 387.571 indicates an adequate signal. This model
can be used to navigate the design space

From table 3 and Fig 2 we can see fermentation time is the biggest effecting to nattokinase activity, followed by
pH, bacteria inoculate. In the experiment, the fermentation temperature had very low effect and do not
statistically significant.

From the results of this analysis, we are selected factors for the survey response surface methodology RSM-
CCD design include time, pH and bacteria inoculate. Temperature is kept at the center 37°C.
3.3 Obtimization response surface methodology RSM-CCD design
The Model F-value of 36.99 implies the model is significant. There is only a 0.01% chance that an F-value this
large this large could occur due to noise. Values of “Prob>F” less than 0.05 indicate model terms are significant.
In this case x1, x2, x3 are significant model terms. The “Pred R-Squared” of 0.7668 is in reasonable agreement
with the “Adj R-Squared” of 0.9446, difference is less than 0.2. “Adeq Precision” measures the signal to noise
ratio. A ratio greater than 4 is desirable. This ratio of 18.799 indicates an adequate signal. This model can be
used to navigate the design space.
