Kluyveromyces lactis is an excellent host for a high cell density culture, which allows high expression levels of recombinant enzymes. Nutrient composition and culture conditions affect the secretion, production level and stability of the recombinant host. Therefore, it is technologically important to formulate a medium that stimulates high cell density and enhances the desired enzyme production using K. lactis GG799. In this study, six media were initially compared, and a Plackett-Burman experimental design was employed to screen for important components and trace elements. Nitrogen sources such as ammonium sulfate and free amino acid (casamino acid) as well as compounds like MgSO 4 •7H 2 O, Na 2 SO 4 , ZnSO 4 •6H 2 O, MnSO 4 •4H 2 O and KH 2 PO 4 affected biomass concentrations (5.67 g/l) and recombinant endo-β-1,4
